It’s the night before Christmas

and the kids are in bed

dreaming of the wonders

Santa has in his sled.

Cards sent per post

 cookies all baked

create more memories

for old times sake.

Boxes covered with ribbon

and wrapped with precision

 Friends we have toasted

and well wishes we’ve  shared

we menopausebarbees and menopausemen

 know that with each passing year

life begins again.

Not much more to do

so let’s take a moment  

to give thanks for our good fortune

and ask for continued good favour,

Dana and I wish you joyous holidays 

with special moments to savor.
