Your wish you said:
‘A feast in my heart’.
Your plans formulating
In your mind as we speak.
Such a grand idea,
For to this feast
You’ll invite
Those that you favour most.
Cook for them favourite foods,
Dine with shining silverware,
On exquisite china plates,
Sipping wines from god’s earth.
Round the table
Will be good cheer
The chatter, the laughter
Resonating.
Toasts to good health
Glasses raised high
The songs of Christmas
Never sounding so strong.
For in your heart
Love reigns supreme
In sharing with the company of friends.
Note: I have had for the past three years a pen-friend in Lithuania.We exchange letters frequently. One aim of the letters has been to improve her English which is improving all the time. The other night she wrote and included the line – “A feast in my heart’. It was too good a line to neglect and so the above poem emerged from it.

life is better in the company of friends…and there is nothing quite like the feeling of knowing you are among them….safe and loved….and appreciated if for nothing else than being you….
Thanks Brian that is a lovely comment.
Michael, what a touching story about your friend from Lithuania. I do like the words “a feast in my heart” as well. The best kind of ‘feast’ is one that is shared with others in some way, even across a distance. Friendship is a special gift indeed.
Thanks Mary. I am sure she will make it a wonderful event.
You captured the wish for thaft perfect Chstimas Micheal.. very good.. and the feast of the heart is a great phrase.. good to give your pen-pal credit for it as well..
