Smile Within :)

When the pumpkins go on sale,
And the dark nights so near,
It's easy to feel closed in.

Down and lonely, full of cold,
Even feeling tired and old,
Bills keep piling up while the pennies
Are far from high.

It's never easy this particular
Time of Year, Christmas round the
Corner, Children bending your ear.

It's hard to focus on the good things
That are here.
But try to remember what drives you,
What keeps you going,
Is not just the people
I know that Care,
But the smile within that carries
On going, like the wind
gliding everywhere!!

Hi Prettyrose,
that's the spirit, that last line, that's what keeps
you going. I must be the odd one out, because this is
my favourite time of the year, a time to rest and
reflect, and look forward.

Thanks for a great read.
Jenny.
