Holidays

Days of repentance
designated times for gratitude
special days for lovers, mothers
parades, picnics, bands and banners.
The calendar is filled
with special days
commemorating all.

Instead I recommend
designating each day
a special day
in which we are grateful
loving, compassionate, kind.

Let’s fill our lives with days
where we work together
in harmony, where no one
dies of hunger
days without shame.

Let’s declare an endless holiday
of glory, love and devotion
to our Creator, who made us all.
