Can Adults Have Their Own Christmas?

Can Adults Have Their Own Christmas?

Can adults have own Christmas?

Is it temptation? Will you resist?

Imagine having our own Santa Clause.

That brings surprise gifts from the mall.

Imagine today is Christmas day.

You can everything you want your way.

You can have coffee while you’re in bed.

Forget work, just play all day instead.

You raise your hands with a lift.

You reach and grab your gift.

You were good all year long.

Now you’re singing Christmas songs.

Congratulations, this is it.

Merry Christmas, you've got your wish.

I Can't Believe The Chaos

This is a poem from the book ''Christmas Poetry for Everyone''

 I Can’t Believe the Chaos

The madness erupts. What’s going on?
There’s so much chaos. What’s so wrong?
I was standing in line at the front of the store.
Everyone was losing patience.
They were saying, ‘’hurry, open the door.’’
The doors opened, the marathon race begins.
People rushed in with the desire to win.

Their carts were filled with electronics.
This was the result of economics.
The ads made these products high in demand.
Even a person without logic would understand.
The holiday sale brought the mass numbers out.
They’re ready to buy and won’t leave without.
People will respond to the authority in command.
The authority is their urges that come from within.

All of the shoppers were ready to fight.
As soon as they saw only one toy left in sight.
I couldn't believe I saw a mom get into a fight.
Just moments before, she was talking so nice.
Someone stepped in front of where she stands.
She responded by slapping him with her hand.
This was the chaos of the after Thanksgiving sale.
This was the day, that peace and harmony failed.

Thanksgiving Diet

This is a poem from the book ''Christmas Poetry for Everyone''

Thanksgiving Diet

Is it unrealistic?
How can I diet on Thanksgiving?
Or is the timing a bad one?
There’s much temptation under the sun.

How can I sit here and not eat?
When there’s enough food for a feast.
I ignore the turkey and dressing.
Is it worth a dietary confession?

My arms are folded at the table.
I’m surrounded by family and friends.
They are tearing into the food.
It’s so good, their faces have big grins.

How can I keep my diet?
Is there a way to enjoy this feast?
Maybe I can eat a small portion.
Or should I simply just not eat.

All of this confusion is taking hold of me.
My family thinks that’s I’m crazy.
How can I diet on Thanksgiving?

I Must Move On

This is a poem from the book ''Love Poems: Are You The One?''

I Must Move On

The words you speak
It means nothing to me
Because they’re just words
There’s no action

I’m at a point that I want us to end
I love you so much and it will heartbreaking
I can’t continue living through this pain
I don’t want my love to turn into hate

You’ve disrespected me for way too long
I let it got out of hand
I was too busy working every single day
I worked hard while you only played

You've become a burden
Even a blind man can see
You feel entitled
What makes you think you should be?

Love doesn't entitle you to treat me any kind of way
You've taken advantage of me being easy going
I don’t like confrontation, I rather us speak what we have to say
All the yelling that you’re doing, is not my kind of game

I’m getting to the point where I don’t want to be here
I avoid coming home because I know an argument is near
I hate splitting up and I don’t want this to end
But unfortunately I have to listen to my spirit

I know this is going to hurt both you and me
My heart will ache for an eternity
But I have to stop this cycle of what we’re going through
My love, we must end, it’s time for me to make that move

On Aug 11th, it all began

My journey in this world began on this day in the past.  Today is my birthday and I've already received phone calls, emails and social media postings.  Thank you to everyone who is taking the time out of the day to do these things.  I am appreciative.

I give a special thank you to my mother.  When I was born, she almost died giving birth to me.  She was hospitalized for weeks.  I can't imagine my life without her and I love her so much.  That's my reflective moment today.

Thinking about this year, so far has been a very amazing year, and I have accomplished some goals that I've set out to accomplish.  Looking back and reflecting, the best birthday gift is the gift of life.  Knowing that another year has passed and I can truly say that I'm at a good place in my life.  Now my wish is for others to have that same feeling about their own lives at some point.   It wasn't easy getting to this place.  If I took the time to talk about all the bad stuff, this posting would be pages long.  But that's nothing new, everyone has obstacles.  At the end of the day, it's all about how we handle and how we overcome.  So I will close this posting out with my tagline that I made years ago, that is my signature quote, ''Success comes from patience and persistence!!.''

Sincerely,

Steve Ryan
