Be Merry
It was a winter day in December, overcast and looking like rain.
The man at the store front was ringing his bell asking for donations.
Digging in my pocket for change and dropping it into the pot; I gave my last bit of change.
I could have bought a doughnut I thought to myself.
It's Christmas though and I offer my pennies as token to the gift we all have been given.
And believing in the power of giving back; I take my part.
And I sing my happy birthday song from my heart. Happy birthday.
You gave me truth and hope; and I give you devotion
And “Love”
