Anticipation
Is half of the fun, you say!
~But I cannot wait!

I must learn patience?
All good things come in good time?
~And you call this fun?

I'm a girl at heart.
I cannot wait much longer.
May I open box?

May I take a peek?
~No? Then may I have a clue?
Please don't torture me!

May I have gift now?
The suspense is killing me!
WHAT IS IN THE BOX?!?

What's in the box?
A frog, maybe?

With patience
and a kiss
you can have
a prince!

Terrific write!
LOVE those senryus!

Sue, this poem just now popped into my head as I was recalling my recent birthday.

My friends and family know that next to my giving presents, I love receiving them--and they love to make me wait! I suppose when we're told to get in touch with our inner child, this isn't exactly what 'they' are talking about! lol

This poem is somewhat of a dramatization! lol

~ I guess you are right, Dear Sagacious One! I really would prefer kissing princes over frogs!--Hm! That doesn't sound right! Oh, well. I'm sure you know what I mean! lol

(smiles) Yay! Oh Linda, I know just how you feel, though I also love giving more than receiving, you can't help but feel so excited and want to see the presents so much! (kiss on cheek) Like I said in my journal, I chose the name Mistletoe Angel because I believe everyday should be Christmas to the extent that we give and share our love to one another and not through presents everyday but through unconditional love! (big hugggsssssss) Hehehe...can I have a clue now, pretty please, hehehe, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

FABULOUS

Oh my gosh, I have NO patience at all. However, someone once told me that if you pray for patience, God will test you. Scared me to pieces and it's one thing I stay away from in my prayers.

What's In the Box?? I say LOVE!
When you open it, butterflies of love will come floating out.

Smiles and loves, Marti

Hear Blessings dropping their blossoms all around you.

Noah ~

Like you, I get the biggest charge out of watching my friends and family open their gifts from me. I put a great deal of thought into chosing the perfect presents!

Love you, Angel Boy!

Funny that you should mention the Chippendale dancers! On Friday I went with some of my girlfriends to watch firefighters strip for charity!--and I bought their pinup calendar! I enjoyed my read before I went to sleep!

Please don't tell Sy about me going to a strip show. I don't want to ruin his illusion that I am a real angel!
