Bittersweet December by
Christina O 

So tired of all the memories 
It brings me back to you
And I can’t help but wonder
How I’ll go on another year 
Fighting all these demons 
That remind me you’re not here 

It’s a bittersweet December 
And it haunts me all the time
I can’t change what happened
But I can make it all brand new 

I go back to that day 
And picture the last time 
It breaks me down
And I fall to my knees
Asking why?
Why? 

It’s a bittersweet December 
And it haunts me all the time
I can’t change what happened
But I can make it all brand new 

One year passes, now almost two
And I’m scared to face it
But somehow you know 
And the day though dark 
Was suddenly turned brighter

A beautiful little face
Born on this day 

It’s a bittersweet December 
And it haunts me all the time
I can’t change what happened
But I can make it all brand new 

It’s a bittersweet December 
And though it haunts me all the time
I can finally breath again
With the miracle you’ve blessed

In this bittersweet December

December by Joseph Herron

Child of the grand old winter,
December floateth by;
And the ground without is bare and white
As the moon in the cloudless sky.

The wind blows cold and dreary,
Across the whitened plain;
And we see the oaks with their branches bare,
Through the frost on the window pane.

But within where the yule-log’s burning,
Each heart is happy and gay;
For the loving Prince of earth and Heaven,
Was born on Christmas day.

Then hail! grand old December,
We welcome you once more!
For the memory sweet of a night you bring,
That came in the days of yore.

December by Harvey Carson Grumbine

High like skeletons grim
The trees hold up their arms;
The last leaf’s hurried from its limb
By the tempest’s wild alarms;
The river ripples gray and cold,
And autumn’s o’er like a story told.

Deep in the lonely wood
The leaves lie thickly strown;
The timorous rabbit finds him food,
The snow-bird seeks his own;
The cricket long has ceased his song,
For the breath of winter’s cold and strong.

Close to the level plain
The snow clings like a sheet;
The chimney moans as if in pain,
Lashed by the hissing sleet;
And all good men are glad to be
Where the Yule-log sparkles merrily.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

By Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.   

His house is in the village though;   

He will not see me stopping here   

To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   

To stop without a farmhouse near   

Between the woods and frozen lake   

The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   

To ask if there is some mistake.   

The only other sound’s the sweep   

Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep.

Kind Hearts are the Gardens 

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 

Kind hearts are the gardens,

Kind thoughts are the roots,

Kind words are the flowers,

Kind deeds are the fruits.

Take care of your garden,

And keep out the weeds,

Fill it with sunshine;

Kind words and kind deeds.

Kindness Matters by Bedzines

Now before I begin this poem, allow me to preface it with a warning and play devil’s advocate for a moment. I know many who are kind of heart can have many second thoughts about being so ” out there ” with acts of kindness. Many might say it makes one too vulnerable to predators who will only see weakness and take advantage of such acts. That these acts of kindness are a horizontal rather than a vertical progression that can actually be an impediment to success and rise in the world we live in today. That they may actually be reason enough for others to belittle and cause pain.

IF SO.. Then WHY DO WE KEEP DOING THEM ?
Could it be because there is a sense of magic attached to the act of making one smile ; a sense of adventure that makes the heart pump faster of where this act may take one; an adrenalin rush that one can feel surging through their veins when one realizes that one has actually made a difference in someone else’s life..

Perhaps, THAT’S WHY WE DO IT!! Well, I for one, would not exchange those moments for ANYTHING else in this world; not for any pot of gold; not for any higher position, BECAUSE there is no greater feeling of fulfillment or grace then to be there for someone else in their time of need.. and with that said, I will begin my poem.

One act of kindness is all it takes.. To make the moon smile back..

One act of kindness is all it takes.. To feel the sun’s embrace..
One act of kindness is all it takes.. To turn a spark into a flame..

One act of kindness is all it takes.. To create a water fall..
One act of kindness is all it takes.. for a rainbow to show it’s colors..

One kind word is all it takes.. To put the world at peace..

One kind word is all it takes.. For bees to make their honey..

One kind word is all it takes.. To drown out all that thunder..

One kind word is all it takes.. To make the flowers blossom ..

One kind word is all it takes.. To shape one’s world to be..

If only one would take the time.. To be there for another.. Perhaps the world would.. Be more primed to dance and sing together..

And learn to understand.. Where another lives.. Perhaps they would be more inclined.. To live and let things be..

Perhaps the world would try to see.. The value of being ME !!
