A Holiday Thank You

You arrived bearing gifts
All in wrappers and bows
For each individual
Something special you chose.

We all want to thank you
For all that you've done
To make sure this holiday
Was a real special one.

We looked at our gift tags
To see what they'd say -
"Merry Christmas, we love you"
signed, Gloria and Ray.

Some received afghans
Or something real handy,
Framed pictures and calendars
Popcorn and candy.

You grabbed our attention,
You made us say "look-ee",
Poetry all printed
By one known as "Cookie."

In closing we're grateful
For all that you did -
I think that we'll keep you,
You're a real special kid.

I will miss her so very, very much
