Below is the poem I wrote for our Christmas cards this year. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and may many treasures await you in 2008!
‘Tis the month before Christmas and in the Lortz home
The humans are bustling the dogs are alone.
This year carried changes, some big and some small
We’re pleased to report we lived through them all!
In March came a puppy, so naughty but sweet
Jake isn’t amused that Sam shares his treats.
Proving who’s boss is always a chore
The little dude won, Sam bows to Jake’s roar.
New sights came in June, vacation’s a blast
Wow, the week’s gone, it went by too fast!
We loaded the car – luggage, nephew, and mom
Headed to Silverwood singing a song.
We rode and we shopped, we swam and we slid
To my sister returned her exuberant kid.
The biggest change came in summer ‘tis true
Steve left his job as a brother in blue.
A huge step of faith indeed we did take
Steve’s now a pastor for goodness sake!
A mission church campus, small groups galore
It’s a safe bet our life is no bore!
How does one live when changes abound
When everything pulls your feet off the ground?
The secret is held not in us but in Christ
We’re people in progress so no need for fright!
From our home to yours “Merry Christmas” we shout
May you be filled with peace and not doubt.
This life’s but a vapor and then it will end
May you savor each moment with family and friends.
