Christmas 2001

It's been a wonderful year
Despite everything that's happened in the world
In Feb of this year I was blessed with a son
His eyes are blue as the deepest ocean
His personality sparkles like the stars above
He is wonderful in every way

It's that time of the year when everyone asks what you want
I cannot think of one thing I could possibly want
I could think of things I would just put on a shelve or keep in a box
That's not something I really need though

I have my health
I have a roof over my head
I have my site, hearing, smell, taste, and feel
What else could I possibly want

Everytime I walk out my door
I see children playing
I hear children laughing
I smell the flowers
I smell the pine in the trees
I feel the wind rush thru my hair
I feel it dance across my body
Sending countless shivers
I feel the concrete under my feet
I see the sun in the corner of my eye
It's so round and so lovely
Once in awhile when it rains
I like to go outside
And feel it across my skin
It's like God is touching me
I like to close my eyes
And pretend it's him
Touching me in only a way he can
It's wonderful to me

Or when it's winter and the snow just begins to flake
You see yourself like a child again
Your mouth wide open and trying to catch a flake
How the warmth inside you builds
The exicetment shows in your eyes and your cheeks
I love when it snows

Something about that beautiful white fluff
It's angelic
It's so peaceful
It makes all that's wrong seem so right
At least for a little while

Oh this is the season to reflect on things you have
But we also know how many people don't have things
We give all to our heart's content
That little bell rings
And we stuff whatever we have into it

It's a wonderful year for me
I wish I could say it was so many others
I know how many will have this year without brothers, sisters, friends, 
aunts, uncles, mom's, and dad's

My prayers are endless for all that lost life's to tragedy's of any 
event this 
year
My heart goes out to everyone
This may be a great year for me but, I still know there are others out 
there
Others who aren't as lucky as I am

I only pray that God will love them, shelter them, protect them, and 
guide 
them like he has me thruout the many years

Soon it will be over
And another year will drawl near for me
For all of us
I'll move forward with stregnth, wisdom, and courage
I'll move on for myself, and for those who cannot
