Words that caught me: E is for Every Day


Isn’t it amazing and powerful
The way Christmas waves a magic wand
On the entire world?

There aren’t many holidays I know
That pack as much joy,
Kindness and generosity
As Christmas.

For some of us,
We wait yearlong for such holidays
To celebrate, travel,
And fill our hearts with joy.

Suppose we did that more often...

Suppose we celebrated, gave thanks
And felt joy more times in a year
Like we do on Christmas?

Suppose we traveled more
And drank more from the cup of adventure
Like we do on Christmas?

What would it take us to be the nice, kind, and generous souls
We are on Christmas,
And be that throughout the year?

Do we have to wait for Christmas:
To travel,
Be with family,
Give gifts,
Practice thanksgiving,
Spread a cheer,
Be joyful?

Do we have to wait for Christmas
To be human and humane?

Do we have to wait for Christmas
To celebrate life,
And create memories?

Suppose we practiced that every day?
Joyful, every day.
Free spirited, every day.
Generous, every day.
Kind, every day.


Suppose the magic of Christmas
Was to live in our hearts -  
Not just for a season or one day -
But every day?

Imagine that!

Can we do it?
Can you do it?
Why not?
Why not?
