Winning Poem
I WOKE UP on Saturday and I received
the best present I have ever had,
it was a little present what I received
but the most special I’ve probably had.
It was a photo album of my HEALTHY family
so I opened it very carefully and slowly.
I REALIZED that life goes too fast
and we have to enjoy it until the last.
I hope you have a good New Year
and remember not to drink too much beer.
I wish you a Merry Christmas today
and be sure to subscribe to the Word of the Day.
