EVERYDAY IS CHRISTMAS – REPRISE
By Charles Robert Lindholm
Everyday
Is Christmas
For Me
I Wake Up Each Morning
With Gifts All Around
But The Gift That Is Best,
Is The Smile In Your Eyes
On The Pillow Next To Me
Each Day Is A New Day
That’s Given To Me
With Surprises Ahead
And Now’s Yet To Be
The Seasons Come
And The Seasons Go
With Each Day For Me
Tied Up In A Bow
Each Day Is Christmas
A New Gift For Me
With Thanksgiving Blessings
When I Wake Up To See
Your Smiling Eyes
In Love With Me

AN AWAKENING TOUCH
By Bree Leto – Secretthoughtswithin and
Charles Robert Lindholm – The Reluctant Poet
Our first touch–
with only your fingers
slowly brushing my hand
sent an extraordinary
jolt of electricity,
through my whole body
that I had never felt before.
The twinkle
in your eye
sparked imaginings
that lit up my soul
The smile on your lips
whispered to my heart
making its beating race
as a blush showed
upon my face
An unintended touch
that somehow came to be
as your fingers brushed my hand
and awoke a part of me
I never knew
was waiting there
I shared a touch of the new
and a lingering stare with you
and hoped
for more

I AM BLESSED
By Charles Robert Lindholm
Every night I count my blessings
and I‘m thankful for each one
’cause I know I‘ve not been promised
I‘ll see the rising sun
Every moment is so precious
every day is special too
but the memories that I treasure most
have all been made with you
You are the love I‘ve longed for
You are my dream come true
and I know each day
that I am Blessed
when I wake up next to you

There is nothing quite so wonderful as waking up with your BELOVED!!!

I DON’T KNOW WHY
By Bree Leto – Secretthoughtswithin And
Charles Robert Lindholm – The Reluctant Poet
I’m not sure why
I keep on changing
like I do
I don’t know
if it’s good or bad
I really wish I knew.
I fear with all these changes
taking place inside of me,
others will only notice
the outer side they see.
I wish I understood
what was meant to be,
what’s the point in changing
if you don’t change with me.
Take my hand, my love,
we can grow together.
I will grow
and you will grow,
by my side
FOREVER.

IN BETWEEN THE LINES
November 26, 2020
An Instant
In every life,
there’s a moment, or two.
The curve of your neck
out of that corduroy man’s shirt,
Burnt orange,
of autumn; passing of the old.
How unaware you were
that our child-like lives had just changed.
That’s not quite the right word.
They rearranged themselves
Into a new pattern, the right one.
Like random iron filings on paper
Which, when a magnet comes near,
Spring instantly into order,
Obedient to the
Truth of an invisible force.

And there she was,
Sitting on the silky sand enjoying the afternoon,
Watching the sun set over the mystic horizon of the Atlantic,
