'ITS THE SEASON
It is trying to be
a warm and a loving time,
with kindness and light,
and a feeling of hopeful renewal.
  
Find what blessings you can,
help your heart to remember
that the children who died
are about us, everywhere
trying to make this,
even for you
a warm and a loving time.
* * * * * * * * *
Seasons of lights,
Seasons of love and peace,
Season of shadow,
Season of memories,
Season of warmth and joy,
Season of secret tears:
  
Give us the courage to laugh again.
Give us the vision to hope again.
Give us the power to love again - - -
    For all our new seasons
    And all our New Years
