Happy New Year

Let us all gather round and cheer,
With a drink of wine or an ice cold beer

Perhaps you're like me and don't drink the swill,
Or your like my grandparents who live on pills.
Maybe this world seems harsh at times,
Or its just that most of us just like to whine.

I'd say that this is a great place to be,
It all depends on how we can see.

True we've had bad things in the past,
But we know in our hearts that these will not last.

If we try our best to be simple and pure,
There's nothing our hopes and dreams cannot cure.

So, I don't know the value this is worth,
But lets all try to be happy and heal Mother Earth!

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas
by Karen J. Cino

Christmas is a time for giving.
I have so little to give materialistically,
it hurts inside.
What I can give is my vibrant smile,
my laughter and my heart.

Expressing myself does not come easily.
I have tried time and time again
to let the walls around me crumble,
however, it never quite makes it to the ground.

When I see you,
I get a feeling inside that is so hard to describe.
I keep my distance, yet, find,
I can’t seem to get you out of my mind,
no matter how hard I try.

I have waited,
letting fate be my guide,
hoping that someday,
you will hear my heart.

I close my eyes, this Christmas Day,
dreaming you were here with me,
to join in the magic of this most sacred day.

My gift to you is a golden key.
Only you can unlock the door to my heart.
