holidays on my mind
Nothing special doing this holiday
Just spending time with family,
Eating good food and visiting friends.
Trying to smile, but it's awkward somehow,
As my mind is focused on others:
Those less fortunate than myself,
Those fighting and dying for freedom,
Those with whom I was angry,
Those I've forgotten to call back,
And those celebrating for the last time.
Mistakes were made and hurtful things were said.
I'll say "I'm sorry" now, but who really cares, anyway?
Mixed with all my saddness, though,
Are promises for a better next year.
Maybe listening to my favorite holiday tunes will brighten up my day. Please share your favorites with me!
