Life is like a childhood game of
Chutes and ladders
One minute you’ll climb to the top
The next minute you’ll slide back down

The difference is whether you try again
Climb back towards the top
                        Or
Stay dormant at the bottom because you didn’t succeed the first time
              Never give up
                 Even when you fall

Get ready
          Get set
Push forward
           Look for tomorrow
Stay ahead
           Dream big
Love yourself
           Be you
Stay positive
          Embrace life
Be happy
Always
    Reach for the
             Stars

Every
     S
       T
          E
             P
You take
Is the building blocks towards
Your life’s
G
O
A
L
S

A
      Blank
               Stare
In your eyes
And on your face
Thinking back in time
Then suddenly
                  It’s erased
Blink your eyes
Come back to real time
Just for that moment
I was denying my mistakes
            But for now
                     I’ll be just fine

My Christmas wish didn’t come true
I wished to have one more moment with you
But then I realized your always here with me
Even though we can not see
The magic of Christmas
      The sprinkle of hope
         Has brought the spirit of you
                From heaven above
Merry Christmas to all who have departed from earth and became our angels
        Spreading love throughout the year

Tonight as many of us celebrate the Christmas magic
May we remember all that (can’t) celebrate
As they are.....
        Alone
          Sick
             Homeless
                   Dying
                       In Heaven
                            Fighting Overseas

As we all enjoy our time together with family and friends
      Let us bow our heads
          Take a moment of silence
               Pray for all those who won’t be celebrating this Christmas Day...

Twinkling lights
    
   Upon the tree
            
                 Make a wish
                    
                       And
              
            Just
                      
      ­              BELIEVE
