For You and Your Family: Cradling Christmas

A Tree Upside Down

Cradle yourself this Christmas

More than any other time in your life;

Soften your days with lit candles and love;

Let embraces come from where they will; 

Allow the tears to flow--for how can they not?

Hang on to every Cherished Good;

Do you know, can you even begin to imagine

Or possibly remember, the million moments

Love was exchanged by the gifts

Of your hands, heart and soul?

All the love you gave! The Love

Received! Let the myriad moments

Cradle this Christmas;

And as the months

And years go by

More, more

Will be 

Revealed--

The

Million 

Moments

Shining

Like

The

Stars.
