With our presidential election decided
Some are elated, others enraged
Perhaps this is an important reason
We all need to stay engaged.
While it may seem difficult to reconcile
And put our differences aside
Maybe it’s a way we can begin
To bridge the gap in our divide.
At home we love being retired
Our days are easy, laid back, and slow
Except for having a lively pup
Who wants us to go, and go…and…go!
Kippers is excelling in his training
Especially in Agility
He’s learned basic commands fast
And what sporting ability!
Maneuvering obstacles on courses
Kippers is now ready and able
To scale backyard walls, climb over fences,
And leap onto our picnic table.
Car trips to the mountains and beaches
Short getaways to relax and rest
We also flew back east this fall
Being with family is just the best!
Remembering a song from long ago
Wise words they still may be
“Let there be peace on Earth
And let it begin with me”.

Wishing you all good things this holiday season! Enjoy!
I love your annual Christmas poems! I cannot imagine how long they must take to write but they are warmly received.
Happy holidays to you, Bob and Kippers and best wishes for 2025!
