Celebrate

Celebrate as if no yesterday

Happened to you before

Spoiling the after; you may

Light candles and ask for more

Breadcrumbs and doves of peace

Stars, moons, and wisps of air

Crossed paths and blooming trees

With fruits and flowers fair

Celebrate as if no tomorrow

May come and snatch away

The love, the smile; with sorrow

Left in their place to stay

Celebrate as if it is today

The first and last in line

As you look up and pray

For joy that’s yours and mine.
