It's December already

Well here we are, well and truly into December, and facing the usual lengthy list of things to do before Christmas. One of my fun December jobs is creating my Christmas poem.  Every year for more than 20 years now I have mailed out a Christmas poem.  it's my take on the annual Christmas letter.  To inspire myself this year I've decided to publish parts of some of my favorites in this blog.
So here's part of one of my favorites from 1993:

Time flies, they say,
When you're having fun.
I must be having a ball,
For here it is December again,
and the year that is
is the year that's gone
and all that's left are memories
and gifts not wrapped
and cards not sent..........

A month ago, from a Florida beach,
we watched Endeavor lift off,
and that bright flash across a dark sky
was like this year just past:
brilliantly joyful, exciting and fun,
and gone by much too fast..
