Holiday Spirit By GERALD COTE
Friday December 30, 2005
it’s the bottom end
of another year
as they’re shouting
epitaphs
of holiday cheer.
while days turn darker
in me and out,
the list grows longer
of human drought.
remembering my spirit
what it’s about,
beyond my troubles
to those without.
oh release me from
my trifling world,
my selfish needs
take to their grave.
for everyday
should be like this,
remembering others
less fortunate.
