A bless ed season is here once again
as it has happened for many a year
a pause to forgive- its never too late
for never is a long time for disdain
a pause to reflect or a pause to forget
ills of the past that have pained-


A blessed time of joy
-giving , sharing -receiving good tidings and truth
to look straight ahead,-clear vision - sure
with love from within,-shining - pure
lighting the way, opening doors
of peace for one- for all

And still methinks each year this period arrives
why slot it in only one day
for a birthday is as it implies
the birth of a new day —-
