Holiday Traditions: Inner Reflections

They know not why we gather, with smiles false or true,

As the snow comes billowing, as days reach dying light,
Keep hold of your traditions, they won’t keep hold of you.

When memories call out, try not to miss your cue,
Treasure people’s presence, the giants and the trite,
They know not why we gather, with smiles false or true.

Let in familiar faces and emotion may debut,
The colors of those closest will blur the black and white,
Keep hold of your traditions, they won’t keep hold of you.

Be it snow or darkness that alters the skyward hue,
Warming eyes will bring perspective towards your plight,
They know not why we gather, with smiles false or true.

Families brought together for a gorgeous déjà vu,
This holiday provides us our excuse to reunite,
Keep hold of your traditions, they won’t keep hold of you.

Love between the pure of heart is never misconstrued,
Time you share is genuine, though words you may recite,
They know not why we gather, with smiles false or true,
Keep hold of your traditions, they won’t keep hold of you.
