Gathering with, 

Our families a bond, 

There, despite —

The distance. 

Sharing our lives together, 

Meeting, laughing, joy.

Siblings, 

Connecting; though years —

In childhood, 

Have passed by. 

Fiances, partners, meeting —

New loved ones enfold.

Families, 

They grow and alter. 

Babies too, 

Added and —

Some family sadly they pass, 

Onto their forever home.

And on the —

New Year, we gather, 

Again to —

Ring in a —

Better year, with promise; hope, 

Less pain, more grace known.

So I pray, 

For all of you, when —

You pour the —

Champagne and —

Kiss your most beloved one, 

Think too, of suffering.

Those whose holidays, 

Have less cheer, are hard. 

Those who fight, 

Have trials. 

Those without home, wealth, and —

Know not where food comes.

For those who, 

Are trying to feed, 

Little mouths. 

They go with —

Out; but they need energy,

To work, to provide.

For those who’ve, 

Demons inside, they can’t —

Struggle more, 

And survive.

For those who don’t know there’s hope, 

Think and aid them all.

Help comes in, 

Many ways; talking, 

Mere words which, 

Keep the edge,

Far away; give friendship, gifts —

Something showing thought.

You can help, 

Volunteer to kids, 

Charity, 

Read with them. 

You can do many thoughtful, 

Things; don’t forget.

For those snug, 

At home and gifted to know, 

Warmth and love. 

Abundantly, 

Blessed; may we keep the —

Season in our hearts.
