Here Today Gone Tomorrow

HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW Here today gone tomorrow Thanksgiving and Christmas Day We forget I hate to say Colors – uplifting music The great festival of friends Hosannas joy without end Chapel bells on Christmas Eve Yearly drive to see the lights Giant tree oh what a sight! Amazing special passions Filled with hope and constancy Resolutions don’t you see Quite a metamorphosis Amnesia like a shroud Head in light above gray clouds Five great weeks of fantasy A magic spell to be sure Past new year though all’s a blur Bloody Earth with many wars World full of empty feelings D.C. lies shady dealings Lest we forget peaceful days The season’s magic feeling I’ve a wish am appealing Caught up in reality - Near forgot those hours of bliss - Take the time to reminisce

Dear Daver, wouldn't it be great if the "spirit" of harmony and peace that accompanies the holiday season could be felt yearlong? I, too, reminisce on remembrances of Christmases past and you did a great job sending a message that we can extend "the bliss" if everyone makes an effort. Love and blessings for the holidays, Carolyn

Could not agree with you more Dave, we get so caught up in the rush that we forget the real meaning behind these days.. We forget to embrace.. Hope the week ahead will be a great one for you ;) tc Wilma
