good night sweetheart
my darling young one

may you sleep
with the sweetest of dreams
may worries never
wrinkle your brow
may you rest
with angel’s protection

i wait for morning
my heart overflowing
with affection

good night sweetheart

it’s the time
of jolly
time to hang holly
time to celebrate

time to reflect
on the past
time to
be present

time to share
time to bear
the despairs
for those which we care

time to spread

this year
fill your plate with gratitude 

it doesn’t matter
what faith you are
let’s say a prayer
of thanks
receiving is easy
but it’s the giving
that blesses us

seeking to help
rather than complain
giving support
rather
