Lights In the Sky

Lights in the sky from red to green With snow falling it's quite the scene For serene teens with a Christmas sheen I mean what a year it has been Kids craft snowfolk in their yards While entertained by door to door bards Waiting for the mail to receive Christmas cards As pooches watch passerby like solemn guards But deep within some hearts is pain Reminded of loss that cuts to the vein It's a stain that leaves upon the affair a strain Wondering if true happiness can ever be found again Smiles abound all around Not a frown to be found Resounding laughter the only sound From the window it's quite profound Take time to grieve with the belief That eventually time will grant relief But may the sorrow be brief With valor you will again be chief So as smiling faces make folly And kiss beneath holly While generally making jolly It is okay to feel melancholy But here you are with the courage to stand Ready to face the rigors life has planned As long as you do not dig your head in the sand There will be joys and cheers quite grand Lights in the sky from red to green With snow falling it's quite the scene Upon your broken hearted face a Christmas sheen I mean what a tumultuous year it has been
