Family Time

The Arch at Harvest Nature Preserve, Iowa City, IA

Holiday tidings, Holiday cheer, Our celebration of fine things each year.

Nothing finer could there be. First and foremost family.

That inner knowing of what is really true. Light and love, memories of you.

The presents, the gifts and fine china display the importance of the moment and today.

We gather to spend time listening, talking, laughing and lounging.

Theses are the things a family does do.

The good with the bad, the ups and the downs. People here, people gone, all family still.

Focusing on the moment, not the past or the future.

For now is the Holiday season and our chance to gather.

Feel peace and contentment, feel joy and love.

They are like sunshine; And will grow you wherever you go.

Today, tomorrow and beyond, your futures are bright.

Now enjoy the holiday season with all its bright light.
