The holidays are falling behind
Like a car in a rear view mirror
Here’s hoping the memories this year you’ve made
Do not fade, but only get clearer
Heavy reliance on special occasions
To bring cherished ones to our door
Distance and drudgery does get in the way
And leaves us all wanting for more
We often are fooled by quick pictures and texts
With ease we have “zoomed” face-to-face
But nothing replaces the pure joy we feel
When we are locked in a loving embrace!
Now more than ever we need to connect
And strive to maintain through the year
Putting in effort to nurture our bonds
Gives comfort for when you’re not here
So treasure the minutes, the hours and days
Of the visits with family and friends
They bring with them smiles and leave with our hearts
And we can’t wait to see them again!
