Sometimes in our toughest times, we are given a miracle of hope

They can be unexpected but needed

In those times, we should never give up, and believe

We will be given what we need when we most need it

We are here for a purpose with our own destiny

When someone knocks you down with a wet towel
Get up

When someone hurts you
Get up

When it gets hard and impossible
Get up

When you can see nothing but darkness
Get up

Remember who you are
Remember where you come from
Remember you are unique
You have a right to be here
Get up

When I speak I feel misunderstood
My words seem twisted
The meaning is changed
I feel lost and alone
I don't know what to do
Schisms are created making relating difficult
The air gets heavy
I become afraid to speak
I tremble and grow quiet

When I speak I feel misunderstood
People don't hear what I mean
The intention is mired down in muck
I feel lost and alone
I can't find my way

Once a year we get a fresh start
It happens every January
We get to start anew
Fresh Start

The slate is rubbed clean
We can start over
We can try something new

Fresh Start
Learn new things
Have an adventure

Fresh Start

Christmas is more than a day
It's more than a holiday
It's an idea, a feeling
It brings good cheer, smiles and laughter

People are kinder
People love a bit more
Animosity is put aside
Christmas is an idea

It's as if the world was sprinkled with magic sparkles

For a moment things slow down and magic appears

The world becomes lighter and darkness fades

Christmas is an idea
It's a feeling
It's magic

Believe and light up the world with joy

At this time of year
Winter is coming
A fresh new start is on the way

At this time of year

Holiday trappings are everywhere
Trees are waiting for a home
Children are anticipating Santa
Presents are wrapped

At this time of year

Choirs are singing
Churches are full
People are feeling good cheer
Smiles are bigger
People are brighter
Special meals being served

At this time of year

Let’s be more kind
Let’s be more positive
Let’s laugh more and criticize less
Let’s be grateful

At this time of year

Let’s remember what this is about
Let’s come together
Let’s love harder
Let’s assume the best
Let’s forgive more

Let’s remember we are all one

At this time of year

She waited all day for the sun to drop
She needed the darkness
It would help free her
It would remove the bonds tying her


As the sun dropped for the day
She readied herself
She put on a long white dress
She went to the balcony
She climbed up on the table
As she moved to the edge
She spread out her arms
All of a sudden wings appeared
She took a leap and flew into the darkness
She is free
