Hold Within Your Heart Some Happy Tears

December 5, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week as we enter the holiday season is Happy Holidays.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A Happy Holidays poem about the need for and uses of happy tears:

Hold within your heart some happy tears,
And let them irrigate your desert days.
Plant some roses in among your fears,
Placed to add some grace to every gaze.
Your love is rain and sunshine to your world.
Happiness follows from the gift of giving.
On your ramparts leave your flag unfurled --
Let the wind proclaim your joy in living!
In holidays find cause for celebration,
Dancing to the old, familiar tunes,
As time needs now and then a well-timed station,
Yielding to accommodate relation,
Stopping for some cheer as winter looms.
