A Christmas Poem by a Marine
New Christmas Poem
> TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
> HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
> IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
> PLASTER AND STONE.
> I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
> WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
> AND TO SEE JUST WHO
> IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
> I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
> A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
> NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
> NOT EVEN A TREE.
> NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
> JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
> ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
> OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.

Keith in tears
K and K,
I love the input both of you have had on my life. I have been enriched and challenged in small ways and have seen little pieces of the puzzle look like they fit somewhere.
I have decided that our house guests have to go for my wife’s well being, as she is much more affected by the dynamics than I am. I asked that they get a car with in the next 30 days even if they have to sell their things. He can’t get to work w/out a car. Secondly, I want to set up an exit strategy soon and that they will not be thrown out on the street but to find more appropriate housing for their family and that it will take time to make the applications. I went for a long walk with the dog and thought mostly about this issue as I “saw” the pain in Kay’s eyes.
