Empty gift boxes Wrapping paper balls Stale crumbly cookies Pine needles fall Smashed ornaments Candles burnt out Adults bicker Children pout Piles of dirty dishes Half-eaten yule log Yellow snow Thanks to the dog Holiday hangover Spiked eggnog
Make a wish Upon a snowglobe And watch the world Transform; When what’s contained Inside the glass Soon decorates the World; With magical delight A winter wonderland appears To make the season festive By spreading holiday cheer
There’s an angel On my tree My Joshua You’ll always be; Greatly missed And deeply remembered …Always… Not just in December; In my heart I’ll carry you This holiday And the whole year through
Sail away Across Freedom Bay On a thankful voyage This Independence Day Where wishes come true Against a sky of blue And celebrations end In a colorful blend Of cheers and fireworks That light up the night sky In honor of the stars and stripes We so proudly fly
