Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week in honor of the beginning of the holiday season
is Happy Holidays.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A Happy Holidays poem about the legacy one derives
from generations millennia ago and passes on to one’s children:
Happy, happy holidays to
you!
A bit of joy before the winter comes,
Pausing for a holiday or two,
Pausing where the ancient stream still runs.
You know, but cannot know, the generations
Having millennia before you come this way,
Over many rites and revelations
Looking to this turn of light to pray.
In each of us the ancient urge still lives,
Dressed in more contemporary clothes,
A cultural inheritance that gives
You something precious to bequeath to those
Still ready to feel joy down to their toes.
