The remnants of festivity
are a reminder to me
that the joy of existence
need not be a victim of circumstance.
Within the fabric of living
run the threads of giving
even though sorrow
may dawn with the morrow.
To have a be-attitude
enfolded with gratitude
within what I cannot change
into what will rearrange.
A time of play awaits
if I choose to participate.
Take time out from the serious
and get totally delirious!
