Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 603 (Don’t Know Where The Time Went)

Don’t know where the time went-

Can’t remember how the days were spent.

.

Seems like I was about to leave-

To go out and celebrate New Year’s Eve.

.

And, then all of a sudden, I was dressed to

celebrate Halloween-

With Thanksgiving and Christmas about to

appear, on the scene.

.

They say that time passes quicker, the older

you get-

But, gee with that scenario, I’m not ready yet.

.

I need to figure out how to stretch the day-

So that it doesn’t continue to slip away.

.

To take a pause to slow things down-

To take that special moment, to really look around.

.

Don’t know where the time went-

Can’t remember how the days were spent.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 855 (The Yearly Gathering)

I peaked into the window, only to see-

A Christmas gathering that included the entire family.

 

Grandma and Grandpa were sitting together looking sweet-

Aunt Violet, in the corner, with her dress pressed so neat.

.

Barbara and the children were at the piano singing a song-

Even Uncle Jerry could be heard singing along.

.

The cousins, Maurine and Kay Lynn, from far away, they came-

For without them there, things just wouldn’t have felt the same.

.

A tree was decorated and twinkling bright-

Many, many, presents, under the tree were in clear sight.

.

The table was set and when it was time to eat-

Every family member would properly take their respective seat.

.

It was a time to get together, a special time indeed-

With the birth of Jesus, taking a lead.

.

For also underneath the Christmas tree was a manger that stood out-

This family knew what the true meaning of Christmas was all about.

.

I peeked into the window, only to see-

A Christmas gathering that included the entire family

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 862 (Santa Now And Way Back When)

I heard a noise-

Could it be the little girls and the little boys?

.

I knew that they had to be asleep-

I checked on them, there was not a peep.

.

I heard the noise again-

It reminded me of a noise, I had heard way

back when.

.

When I was a child, that same noise had come

into my head-

Probably Santa and his reindeer is what I had

said.

.

Of course, I quickly shut my eyes-

Did not look, did not want to give Santa a surprise.

.

So manybe as an adult, I can do the same-

To ignore that noise, and figure that Santa came.

.

Even though we tend to grow old-

The enlightenment, of children can still unfold.

.

As I closed my eyes, I knew that my dreams could

still come true-

Santa I’m going to sleep and you can do what it

is that you need to do.

.

I heard a noise-

Could it be the little girls and the little boys?

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 841 (That First Day)

As a rule-

It is a bit scary, on the first day of school.

.

Everything is brand new-

With new friends, to acrue.

.

New teachers and a new place-

Time to get comfortable, in this

unfamiliar place.

.

New school supplies, that must be put away-

For use later, on another day.

.

To grit one’s teeth, to make the day through-

To finally go home, and say a big whew.

.

For the second day will be A-ok-

We know where we’re going, because

we went through all of that on the first day.

.

As a rule-

It is a bit scary, on the first day of school.
