Tis our second winter in Ferney Voltaire



TIS OUR SECOND WINTER LIVING IN FERENY VOLTAIRE
On our mission to serve people from here to there.
Thanks to good shoes our feet have no pain
and the words francais are filling our brain.
Love to all our grandchildren we wish we could see,
New ones; Peter, Mia, Milo, Kallie, and Erik. yippee!
Our work is with young single adults, from everywhere;
They dream of finding fun, jobs, and someone who cares,---

Jim and Pat are keeping fit with yoga and walking,
While he gives out cards and she does the talking.
Chocolate , yogurt and produce really are the best,
Also hors d ‘oeuvres and entrees and all of the rest.
Beret , warm coat, and scarf are worn every day
Walking with bread under arm is the French way.
On kidney stones and broken nose,
On shingles, bad knees and bloody toes
... Go away, far away, dash away all!
And then in a twinkling…….. I heard on the roof…..
A YSA choir, a fiddler, and Mongolian music to boot
These musical events were fun , as I recall
A lot of work for some, but for most ... a ball!
To all the world over, to our dear new and old friends,
To you we now send a greeting of great joy
A perfect brightness of hope; his light he sends.
And you'll hear us exclaim after many translations:
Love to you all, and enjoy the celebration!
