To give from one’s heart addressing hidden doubts. (Form: Monotetra) |
Season’s Blessing Too often, what we love is lost. Unrecognized, it just gets tossed, put off until that bridge is crossed but at what cost? But, at what cost? This time of year reminds us all there’s more to Christmas than the haul of gifts we picked up at the mall. We hear the call. We hear the call. Somewhere inside we hear a voice that tells us each we have a choice to pay the overdue invoice. Let us rejoice. Let us rejoice. Let us each overcome the pride that removes us, bridge the divide and claim the love we’ve set aside. We cannot hide. We cannot hide. It matters not the reason why: Christmas, Kwanzaa, angels on high, Menorah’s glow as evening’s nigh. Give it a try. Give it a try. To give from one’s heart addressing hidden doubts. There is no guessing. Share with loved ones by professing Season’s blessing. Season’s blessing.
