A Christmas Wish

Another year’s about to pass

?????????A trip around the sun

We always quip time flies so fast

?????????We’re always on the run

What have we learned this time around

?????????Through all the highs and lows

We keep yearning for some certainty

?????????Amidst the ebbs and flows

We’ve all felt joy and also loss

?????????We’ve seen things displaced

We wonder what emotions

?????????Are masked upon our face

There’s been so much exhaustion

?????????We all seek some release

We want to see each other

?????????We seek much needed peace

The world still has its problems

?????????Some folks don’t get along

I wish we’d come together

?????????For then we would be strong

My wish for you this season

?????????Is not that hard to do

Reach out to one another

?????????Connect, lift up, break through

Encourage folks each day

?????????Be a light that shatters dark

Let people know they matter

?????????Your impact leaves a mark

Avoid the trap of anger

?????????When conflict comes, show grace

Embrace that we are different

?????????And watch discord erase

Another trip’s about to start

?????????Another year begun

Let’s make this next year special

?????????And value everyone !!
