From all of me to all of youse ...
From all of me to all of youse ...
I'm sitting here and reading stuff from you folks on the 'Net'
Somehow you all are known to me (and yes, there's some I've met)
I feel your aspirations, read your hopes and trials and falls;
and know your journeys, like my own, will weather many squalls.
The Festive Season that we're in makes me reflect again.
So, my melancholy mood dictates that I take up the pen -
and wish you all a heartfelt Peace and hope we all recall
the object of this Season - "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to ALL!"
Merry and Safe Christmas to all of youse from all of me ... Manfred

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Merry Christmas to you too Manny. I think when Maureen said "sober" she was joking - she does that!
Neville he says "melancholy" every year. I don't think he really means it.

Re: From all of me to all of youse ...
Thank you Mannie. What a delightful poem. You have a very 'happy Christmas' & keep the 'merry' under control. (Listen to Aunty Mause)
