On the first day of Christmas
I litted a red candle for one
On the second day...
A white candle for him
On the third day...
A pink candle for her
In the succeeding days
I litted a candle for souls of the old days.
For twelve days I litted a candle
Twelve days I prayed
Twelve days all my candles stayed
Twelve graves I prayed for and stayed.
With your strong winds
Me and the twelve candles I litted
Gale you... you blew away!
"Don't stop praying and caring!
In time, prayers will all be answered...
in caring."
(Prosebite)
Multicolored tears
For one gone too soon
And one who’s denied her hand to hold
Halfway through his journey towards manhood
“Life’s not fair.”
She told him so
Mothers do
When teachers play favorites
Or party invitations never come
Or Christmas budgets aren’t big enough for
Wish lists.
But this.
It’s too big
Even for Mother.
So we weep
And we pray
And in our naked helplessness we come
Together
Giving of ourselves and receiving from others
With a rare and sacred gentleness
We share
And honor the ineffably beautiful spirit
Who breathes love and life in us and through us and among us
Every day
Today that spirit was purring.
