A Christmas Gift

A Christmas Gift I feel my ancestors and lost loves call to me today Asking me to let them in So they can share their wisdom And offer me peace I close my eyes Take a deep breath Find my inner zen A cool breeze blows As my grandmother brushes my hair back She wishes me well Reminds me I am her lioness Strong and determined. The scent of pine fills my nose My father smiles at me His Little Minnow Tells me to stay wise Never compromise The sound of Elvis fills my ears My mother dances around me Her sweet angel Telling me to keep my heart fire bright A warmth slowly seeps into me Enveloping me in a cloak of peace Kennedy brushes my cheek with the back of his hand His dark mistress He tells me stay strong Know I am always here Stay true to who you are. I open my eyes My heart and mind. And for a brief moment I am comforted, loved and at peace.
