when seen from sometime far away.
The winter's dark brings time to pray
and feel the root of my Holiday.
To remind myself that I can be
for a day or an hour during coffee and tea
-- helpful a little more and reaching a little further
As friend, husband, or neighbor or father
Are gifts really bad and simply distractions?
I say they are rather
an increasingly rare reciprocal action
So I buy for you
And you buy for me.
I listened for hints, way back at Thanksgiving.
As I sliced up the turkey, I logged ideas in mind
You mashed up potatoes, and listened for my mine
And together we built and we grew and combined
And all us together built a Giftgiving
So holiday event so grand and so fine
That we remember them all as the best of our times.
-- an emergent holiday meeting of minds
When I gift successfully I feel and I find
That listening and empathy has helped me refine
how to deal with people the rest of the time.
-- the time to select, return, and refine.
When I buy gift cards and give cash for propriety,
my money does not built the holiday society
It's really a waste, just a deep well of chaos,
nothing but bother and a flaming deadweight loss.
Jesus' birth and the Christmas story
I hold as dear as piles of money
I love the music, Carol of the Bells
Mannheim Steamroller and the smell of candles
Tinkly lights and front yards all lit
Frank Sinatra and Sarah Brightman
Jesus's birth brings to my mind,
How much better I can be most of the time.
It helps me to focus and helps me to find
A better more moral and higher incline.
