angelb Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I baked - 16 hours this past weekend - and I am sending some to my mom since I cant be with her this year (I have to work) - but I wanted to send a poem with the baked goods I am sending - and this is original, Please give me you HONEST opinion. Twas’ a Plate Full of Cookies Twas’ a plate full of cookies Full of sugar and goo All of that butter So yummy and true All of them don’t eat You must leave two or three For Jolly St. Nick And his fluffy snowy feet A tall glass of milk And plenty o’ napkin to wipe Confectioners sugar, and Many crumbs alight He’ll fly up the chimney And jump to his sleigh To the next house he goes On and on throughout the night Now --- The rest of the cookies Are yours to enjoy So let out your pants And eat them with delight I give you some happiness In these sweets I do send Devour them with pride Taking care to lick Each finger every bit Each morsel with love Thee I send to you Only once a year this comes I wish a Merry Christmas to you! Sending much love to you, Love Ang Original Poem by me, Angela 12/2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Ang... Anything from the heart is a wonderful gift!! Your cookies AND your poem are from the heart and your mom will just LOVE them! It really made me smile, because I remembered many, many years ago -probably in the early 1970's - when I had NO good ideas for my mom's birthday....so I made her some of these chocolate and coconut candies that her best friend used to make and that Mom just loved. Along with the candies....I wrote her a poem sort of explaining why she was getting homemade candies for her gift. Well...my mom died in l985....and I found the birthday poem saved among her "special" cards and papers. I still have that poem tucked away. The candy of course, got eaten in a hurry. Anyway....I share this with you, because I just bet your mom will save your poem too! I think the cookies and poem are a lovely gift. The smiles will resonate for years.

kimmek Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Wonderful...and I am sure the cookies will be just as wonderful Merry Christmas Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmydog2 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Wonderful poem. I think your mother will enjoy the cookies and the poem. In a way your thinking is like mine. I think a gift from the heart and made with your hands is a lot better then a store bought gift that will wear out over time. I used to make a lot of my gifts before I got sick. Hope you and your family has a Merry Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I love it!! I have never even mastered the roses are red, violets are blue thing... I love it.. especially the part of trying not to eat them all and leaving some for ST. Nick... I couldn't not eat them all. I think she will really like your poem too. I would if I got one like yours! Merry Christmas.. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelb Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 Thanks for your input everyone. I sent the cookies and poem off yesterday - I just hope to give her a little bit of happiness in this year of such sadness. This is the first Christmas, and will be the first birthday (his) that will be felt enormously. I truly wish I could just be there for her, unfortunately we need the money this year and being a mother of two young children - I have no leave to speak of. At least my grandmother is there for her. Merry Christmas to everyone, may God bring each and every one of you peace and maybe just a little bit of happiness. Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
