What in your life sparks your gratitude?
And makes it real, not a platitude?
For me it’s a way
Of viewing the day,
With Light, a more positive attitude.
In midst of the flurry this season,
To notice there is beyond reason
Varieties vast,
And never outclassed,
By all other sights you can squeeze in.
The season can hold what is jolly,
Or hold all that old melancholy.
Note what is made Bright
With love and with Light.
Care, woven midst baubles and holly.
As you listen with interest, beware.
Don’t let yourself slide to despair.
Sharing of stories,
Lows and of glories,
Truly listen, but Do Not Compare!
