it’s a magical time of year
strangers nod and smile
even before sips of cheer
we breathe in the energy
the excitement, the anticipation
a sensed not felt ordinarily
the joy of the children is contagious
full of hope and dreams
this spirit of the season is ageless.
celebrating birth with extra care
while battles with heartless vultures
to secure that perfect gift for our dear
despite the greedy siphoning our money
oh yes, we’ll cry later for today’s illusion
of a metaphorical day bright and sunny
we may take a moment to pause and cry
for the memories of love ones we lay to rest
and for those whose choose this year to die
a silent prayer for love ones near and far we miss
every season year after year the tears will cascade
our hearts forever will feel the melancholy bliss
Still it is . . . .
a magical time of year
strangers nod and smile
even before sips of cheer
we breathe in the energy
the excitement, the anticipation
a sensed not felt ordinarily
the joy of the children is contagious
full of hope and dreams
this spirit of the season is ageless.
