I'm Busy

The spaces all around me
are filling up too tight.
Before I get my job done
suddenly it's night.

I know it is the season
of having too much to do
I will try to do my best
to do what I can do.

And if I don't make it
to get every task done
I will remember
 we all need some fun.

I promise not to cry or pout
I won't beat myself up
I'll just wish you, Merry Christmas,
and offer you a cup.
(Of hot cocoa.)


    Sorry to be so late today.  I've got some Christmas projects I'm working on and my deadlines are coming too fast.  I guess I should sleep less and work more.
    What are you busy with today?  Can you write your own "I'm Busy" poem? 

CHRISTMAS EVE

On Christmas eve,
you search the sky
hoping to see
Santa drive by.

Then with a jingle
across the moon,
you see his shadow
and hear him croon,
"Merry Christmas
to all,
and to all
a Good Night."

Mele Kalikimaka

is how 

to say

Merry Christmas

in Hawaiian.

I hope your day

is filled with

joy, aloha,

happiness,

and family.

     Does your family have special things you do for Christmas?  What was the best gift you got?  What was the best gift you gave?  Do you know another way to say Merry Christmas?  Can you write a poem today?
