Hand written letter

Tears walking joy and sadness

Silver linings swell

Spirit of Christmas,

Oh what has become of thee,

Corrupted by cash.

all over, reds, greens,

food, laughter, and happiness

glowing across earth.

if the world held hands

reaching towards the twinkling lights

we could touch the stars

Fleeting memories

Rich with golden hues of past

Childhood wonders pure.

Christmas, oh Christmas.

Trees, candy, and lights fill our minds,

Has the purpose been lost?

Everyone's excited

but something's missing this year

Oh, that's right, it's you

Brimming souls brandish

Gently tinkling chimes,seeking

The gift of kindness.

Everyone join me

There is a wonderful feast

So sit down and eat

Holidays, a time,

When families become whole,

Blessed be those without.
