About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Prompt: My Grown Up Christmas List By Kelly Clarkson What was on your Christmas List as a child? What is on your Christmas List as an adult? Do you wish you were a child at Christmas or are you happy with being an adult at Christmas?

======

As a child, I wasn’t allowed to make a Christmas list for the simple reason that I was taught that Christmas and all holidays have deeper meanings than desiring material things. If I wanted something at any time, I would ask for it. Then, if my request was doable, the adults would see to it that it was fulfilled.

Not that I didn’t get anything on Christmas, other holidays, and my birthday, but whatever was given to me depended on the gift giver’s capability. To this day, I don’t do wish lists about material things. Maybe some books, once in a while, but as an adult, I can buy my own books, anyway.

Giving gifts is something else. I always liked giving gifts.

I saw this online for Christmas gift suggestions.

“To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.”
~ Oren Arnold


Then, we can always send good wishes to everyone, especially the wish for world peace.
