The Bonds of Christmas
It’s that special time of year
Winter settles in when the first snowflake
Comes drifting into the air with buddies in tow
Signalling a winter wonderland.
Streets are decked out in Christmas lights
That diminish the darkness with their twinkling glow
Trees are turned into artistic masterpieces
Covered in tinsel, lights and ornaments
With a shiny star on top.
Yet it’s also the season
Where people come together
Who haven’t seen one another
To those uniting after discovering
The bond that they share.
Togetherness is one of the best
Traditions to come out of Christmas
No matter what part of the world you live in
Family, Friends, Acquaintances, even Frenemies
They are all connected and brought together
For one special season a year.
A season of strengthening and connecting
A time of forgiveness and amends
A holiday where truces’ are made
A season of creating new memories
A magical time where hearts can change.
Christmas is magical in mysterious ways
It brings people together
It helps people when they least expect it
They help those who feel disconnected
To reconnect through its magic.
Christmas is about the bonding of hearts
Strengthening the connection
Between loved ones
For the greatest gift
Is the bonds that we’ve made
With those around us
The bonds that connect one’s hearts
Is a precious and incredible gift
That can’t be bought in a store
Nor can it be taken away either.
For the bonds we create with those around us
Are those that we forge over the years
Their the ones we hold out a hand
To help them back up.
The memories we create
The connection we form
When we open our hearts
By being open and honest.
Christmas makes that happen
It helps strengthens
It helps rediscover what’s important
For bonds are the greatest gift of all.
