I feel the cold temperatures starting to come.

The wind cuts through the seams of heavy fabric,

I can feel the change in season, just waiting for the white

Sands of winter to land on my fields nearby.

The day is coming when families gather,

And give thanks even if it was a day created with pain.

There is still the notion of family looms in the air.

Some are happy and delighted to be together,

And some like mine torn apart and healing.

I wonder I guess how long that part will take,

The coming together with my life as a leftover.

I’m going to celebrate alone this year, as I have 

For half a decade now, it just happens that way. 

I’m trying to find an optimistic way of telling the world

There is a lot of good around us, just let it be.

Song lyrics keep coming to mind kind of shaping 

The moments in my mind, when I find some solace.

It’s what I want to find that peace of mind,

Helps me get through the holiday season.

We’re just getting started I suppose, when we wonder

If we’ll decorate the tree or keep our lights off in solitude.
