This Christmas...
A difficult trying year
Broken relationships--
familial in origin-
Frustration and Confusion
This Christmas...
Money was intangible
Brothers 10 and 12, no gifts to receive
The Mystery of Santa, they believe
Yet...
This Christmas...
Pride, Hubris clutching my throat
A family's succor
A family's love,
A family's luck...
Instantly envying,
Avarice built up,
Instantly realizing,
Instantly... understanding.
True Christmas Spirit,
True Aid and Love,
Unselfish and overwhelming,
The initial pain subdued
My tears, withdrew
Something Sought,
Blessings Brought.
God Bless the Family,
Whose eyes were open,
Whose hands held out,
and Love spread.
God Bless Thee Everyone
