Poems by Patty by Patty Keenan


Roses are Red, Violets are Blue
You are the special person in my life
I will always love you
My heart is filled with joy
I feel peace and love
Hope fills the air

The Holidays by Ivanka Garber


The holidays are a magical time of the year. People are happy and merry! Sometimes, people drink eggnog and put up their Christmas tree. Some people even watch The Christmas story all Christmas long! Singing Christmas songs. Kids have an elf on the shelf. Parents bake cookies and make gingerbread houses. Pictures with Santa are always fun! Everybody better be good because Santa is watching!
