The Festival of Lights
Autumn comes up
brining with it football
and leaves of gorgeous hue
As the season fades
it is time for the festival of lights
Burning candles symbolize
a struggle begun
a millennium or two age
A victorious struggle
led by a legendary
band of brothers
Now we celebrate
their triumph with tasty food
and whirling tops
Eyes glow with memory and hope
We give gifts
and are pleased
to receive gifts
The greatest gift is ours
It is renewed life and
camaraderie amongst
the members of the still surviving tribe
