Holiday Knowledge

The holidays used to be filled,
With monotinous dread and fear,
Never knowing but always expecting,
Someone or something,
To come steal the joy away...
Then my world changed,
Being joyous, being happy!
Realization that those who love,
Will do all in their power,
To share that all around!
Stopping and protecting,
Making the unbearable,
The ghost of Christmas Past...
Bringing kind actions and words,
The aura of Christmas Future!
Never will I forget the great memories,
Family and Friends have given me,
That have carried me so far!

No matter what the holidays have in store,
Remember there may be those,
Choosing to make it hard,
Yet there's always ONE to share,
The LOVE and JOY they possess,
Bringing it forth just for YOU!
