Life is precious
Treat others with gentle emotions
Think of others with a delicate mind
Never let time harden your heart
Love those around you
All human beings are beautiful
We all struggle
Praise those who fight
for something better
for something deeper
for something more true
I sit between two families
singing deck the halls
and eyes filled with baby Jesus
or other ghosts from the past.
I attend a wedding
I attend a funeral
I drive back to the city and back
My best friend has a child inside of her
I morn them all.
We are all trying to get by and smile.
And I show my teeth to the world through cracked lips from the bitter cold
I am thankful for this precious life.
