THE HOLIDAY
How is a person
Supposed to celebrate
The holidays
When there is so much pain
In this world
How is a person
Supposed to be joyful
When you are so far away
From the life that you desire
How is a person
Supposed to believe
In the miracle birth
The red clothed fat-bellied guy
With the eight tiny reindeer
When children are starving
Millions are homeless
Racism is never ending
The world is a hostile place
I will tell you
The smile of a child
The first hot sip of a maple latte
The light of a million stars
on the early morning walk
The laugh you get from a great joke
Told in desperation
For a moment not to be lost
The gratitude of a friend
Whose jewelry you bought
The money you spent
That goes to a good cause
The time you know
Will be yours and ours
When they come home
To spend it with you
The holiday
Appreciate the moment
The holiday
Appreciate the time
The holiday
Appreciate the love, always
