โ€˜Twas the night before Christmas, with a long road ahead;
Itโ€™ll be well past midnight โ€˜til weโ€™re tucked in our bed.

With an itch for warm sand, โ€˜tween each of our toes;
Means we still have, oh my, a long way to go.

Our Lucy, our โ€œBโ€, is surely up to the task;
Sheโ€™ll take us wherever we reasonably ask.

Her wheels are turninโ€™; mile after mile.
On my brideโ€™s face, thereโ€™s a hint of a smile.

Her medical issues, Iโ€™m sure still on her mind;
But, at least for a while, sheโ€™ll leave โ€˜em behind.

The weather turned cold at home some time ago;
The thought of a long winter, well, we just had to go.

Lucyโ€™s pullinโ€™ a trailer with our Burgman inside;
Canโ€™t wait โ€˜til itโ€™s warm to go for a ride.

But, alas, that simply wonโ€™t be today;
โ€˜Cause we still have to go quite a long way.

But, during the night, our site will become our home;
My bride will likely finish her day with her usual tome.

When morning arrives, weโ€™ll just have to see;
If Santa knew just where weโ€™d be?

He has an unusual knack to keep track of folks;
But only those, of course, whoโ€™ve been โ€œgoodโ€ blokes.

While I canโ€™t say, for sure, his opinion of me;
I am quite sure that my bride has been โ€œgoodโ€ you see.

Iโ€™ll be up afore dawn, as is my daily habit;
Iโ€™ll light our small tree, with a favorite gadget.

The coffee and tea, on the stove will be brewing;
The sun rising over the water; awaits our viewing.

Soon we'll start our Burgman and itโ€™s off for a ride;
Sheโ€™s been parked for some time, I must confide.

But, thatโ€™s tomorrow, weโ€™ve a way yet to go this day;
So that means we have just a bit more to say.

As day turns to night, and Santa takes flight;
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Cheers.

While we've been married for what will all too soon be fifty years, I still think of her as "my bride". It just seems to set the right tone.

Cheers.
