Bring Reason

here come the holidays
with empty pockets
and long forgotten raises
sorrowful eyes
wait for their surprise
and laughter
that make memories
with loved ones
as we remember
the lost ones
who loved us
and taught us
that memories
live on
far after we’re gone
beyond the lights
that shine
bright get shut off
for the day
while the lessons
live on
that joy can be found
and happiness given
in the lives we
are living
with hearts full
and praises ringing
bring reasons
for thanksgiving
