Santa Is Gone

Santa is gone;
all the gifts unwrapped.
It is time for the New Year ...
to be mapped.

As we make our plans
may we remember and pray,
"To our dear Lord",
and follow His Way.

When trials come,
and they surely will.
Let us remember their purpose-
His Peace to feel.

Like a warm slice of bread
that needs some butter-
may we remember Christ
and Love One Another.

I wrote this yesterday as I lay snuggling in bed with my 4 year old son.  He was cold and tired (and had not been feeling well) so I snuggled to warm him up and hopefully to get him to fall back asleep.  As I lay there I thought of how I will miss Christmas, but I was glad to see the commercial side of Christmas gone.  I am thrilled with how this poem turned out.
