Bless the emotions of the season that will make us more human and less needy. Bless the emotions of the season that will make us more human and less needy. Oh how the season of joy Can affect those under its spell While some climb in exultations Others cry their emotions to sleep Some will look out their window And see the fortunes of gems sparkle Other will see the bleakness Of snow faded to the grays of tears Some will have gifts piled high Others are just glad to be alive Some children will run in the warmth Of their parents wealth While other may bundle in the rags of love So even in a nation so rich The poor will survive to want more Than a leaky room That showers them cold In ice bone-chilling dreams built on ice chairs While others dry to the bone in crackling warmth Of chairs of golden lace Which caress the bottoms so warm That their pride glows red While the blues of a life stone cold Can still believe in the fantasies Of cookies of love being given To those they love So joy of the seasons Remember the fact to at least Think how lucky we are Even if we live in the rags that love For there are others Who always have less And you can share a rag upon them In the faith of a tear Which will freeze to your face And will live inside For the warmth of eternity So let those that have more Think they have it better For when your fireplace comes from within To care so much In the comforts of others Crying with you In the love of the season of joy Blessings I say to you In and out of any season For my heart will always have a rag With a tear on it For this Poet cries in the words that feels inside So deep as to give the blessings From my eternity into yours So be on your way Take my words with you And store them in your heart of gold D.Lester Young (12/10/01) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle) |

You have done a wonderful job reminding us to be thankful and remember others..for it is a time of giving of ourselves from the deepest part of our hearts .... VR |
