When most people think of January
they think of the cold
winter's wrath has settled in
with a powerful hold
When I think of January
my heart dances to a song
I can hear the sewing machine now
as it hums on along
All of those quilts
I patiently piece together
will surely keep somebody warm
in January's harsh's weather
I can't forget those trips
I take to distant lands
in my mind I travel often
with my pen in hand
With every little poem
my spirit surely does climb
and I live every moment
in every little rhyme
So when I look out my window
and see the January snow
I don't mind at all
if time is moving kind of slow
I know it can't be long
until spring rolls around
and it doesn't matter one bit
if I stay house bound

Quilting is my favorite thing to do , especially this time of year but sadly it's not the case quite yet. I'm still having a lot of health issues and praying so hard for a better year. I miss you all and hope so much to be back soon. Thanks for all the prayers and here's wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. ~Susie

ReplyDeleteI'm hoping you get back to doing all the things you love real soon, Susie. God is faithful and He will keep his promises. Sewing IS good therapy! Happy New Year, my friend! May it be your best yet, full of delightful new gifts from the Lord straight to you. <3
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely cheerful poem, Susie. I really like it. Hoping and praying that you will soon be feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThis is a splendid poem, Susie! I always want to work jigsaw puzzles when January rolls around. And I love to quilt too, but my sewing room is quite cold. I'm still praying for your healing! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteDear Susie, I sure hoping you would be much better by now. So I will hold you in my prayers. I loved your poem. You'll have to show us some of your quilts one day. My first sewing machine, my young husband bought me when I was 19...it cost five dollars...cause it was an old treadle type he got at a sale. Suppose to be an antique...but I used it to sew with. I made my sisters lots of Barbie doll clothes. LOL. Then I made my Angie some play clothes. Blessings to you dear friend, xoxo,Susie
