Happy Holidays?

Happy Holidays?

The holidays are here!
A time for joy and cheer!

After a long year, they’ve come back around
More memories to be made, more presents to be found

Families coming together
All bundled up in the cold weather

The decorations, the sweets, and all the good food
Dare I say, I am just not in the mood?

The table is set with china and crystal, so clear
But who will carve the turkey this year?

The traditions remain, a hug to share
A void, an ache, an empty chair…

A glance up, acknowledging the angels watching us from above
Even in heartbreak, we are surrounded by the light of love

And maybe that’s what this time of year is for
For love never truly ends, of that I have never been more sure 

In the quiet moments of the magic, I can hear the whispers – love more, love more, love more
