Childhood Remnants

bygone Christmases

tucked in my heart-

opened once a year

lights

garland

tinsel

pine fragrance

fresh off the lot

silver sparkles

red, green, and pink

remnants of

childhood wonder

 

A Quiet Joy

As we approach Thanksgiving,

think back on 2020 and capture the good moments.

Find those times of quiet thankfulness.

Let go of the sorrow, frustration, and grief

and hold onto the peace and joy.
