Optimism – the doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly.

Ambrose Bierce

The fire’s warm, my cheeks are pink, you’re late again I’ve gone to sleep ~ as the wind fights winter’s chill, I’ll dream of waking and finding Spring ~

~Suzanne Simonovich

Twas the night before Christmas…

~Clement Clarke Moore

Storybook endings ~ the sandman sending dreams to pillows of young and old ~ visions of children unwrapping presents of silver and gold –

~Suzanne Simonovich

Inside the box of lost and found ~ capture your calm ~ reveal your bright ~ find peace tonight as you prepare yourself to receive the gift ~

~Suzanne Simonovich

I am uninhibited ~ when I am stressed I let it go ~ the bright of day keeps me smiling on high places-especially when I wear my favorite dress ~

~Suzanne Simonovich

She positions herself wisely ~ the spotlight straddles her face just so ~ her audience is captivated as she delivers her lines ~

~Suzanne Simonovich

She ’s alone ~ content in her quiet way ~ the moon on the snow shows the seasons meaning ~ a prayer is heard….she keeps believing ~

~Suzanne Simonovich

Ornamental is her story ~ this holiday Queen sings on high ~ she’ll tell the legendary tale long after Christmas is nigh ~

~Suzanne Simonovich

Bells on her boots jingle all the way ~ through the valley she glides in her pink parka ~ the snow bank is high… her sleigh led by white horses ~
