When I was a child

My mom would tell me about you

Then I would wonder

She would say you were with me

When I would ask her’

Her words would cause me to imagine

That you might be with me

Even now as I think of her

 

This time of year

I do become rather blue

Trying to find happiness

For all the pain and suffering

The solace drifting away

Leaving me to find focus

In a world I can seldom understand

Only exist with what is now at hand

 

I am seeking you tonight

In the quiet of my home

Wanting to be less confined

By my own selfish needs

I can feel my world is welling up

As I touch upon the fears inside

Those that slowly come to life

As the reckoning again takes hold

 

We call this our Christmas time

Where we will celebrate our lives

With frolic and delight and love

Howsoever often that moment

Seems evasive until a light will shine

A guiding notion, a memory, a time

When all of our hearts can unwind

Together in a celebration of You

 

Please put aside all of those lost moments

Allow your love to overcome needy laments

We are enthralled by the glory of human spirit

All at once only to realize Love will reveal it

Again and again every time we might ask

Always allowing our burdens to be less task

When in the morning we awaken to new sunlight

Realize soft energy is our gift found in the night.
