A HOLIDAY PRAYER

Thank you for life. For its good times and bad

Thank you for love, even when I can't feel it

Thank you for the love I used to share

For the arms that held me tight

Thank you for my family

In faraway places, in different times

Thank you for the songs we sang

For the dreams we saved

For the smiles we shared

Thank you for the strength that eludes me just now

Thank you for the weakness that sends me to my knees

Thank you for the searching, the reaching, the hoping

Thank for the bonds of memory that hold me in place

Even when I don't believe in it anymore

Forget what it is all about

Thank you, most of all, for having been blessed with the love I have

Known,

Even now when I fear I will forget it.

Thank you for memory and for filling it full measure for me

It wasn't nearly long enough, but it will have to do.

Thanks for the moments we danced.

Thanks for the little while…
