To My Boys

The Christmas songs can be annoying

The planning and prepping

Event attending

May feel unending

But my biggest gift is making these memories with you

Each Christmas marks a year in time

In which you’ve grown taller 

You’re tastes and gift requests differ

Your voices deepen

Your independence increases

And One day not far away 

You’ll be beside your own tree

And I’ll treasure the gift these moments

Have given to me
