Remnants of Joy

by MCGIORGE DAVID

As your world crumbles down, and uncertainties fill your cloudy days Your prowess unmatched by your burden as questions doom your sleepless nights, you wonder when this would end.

Still keep on going as you reach the yuletide spring Let your soul wander through old habits Reminisce with God’s gifts. Relish your favorite colors with brothers and sisters. Feed your weary spirit with food for the soul. For once in a while, you are not alone.

While everything has turned around, your golden circle is irreplaceable. Make love with the moment as the cold wind blows Come along, celebrate with your secrets blown Smack your lips with rice custard Kiss your troubles away as you feast with harmonic chimes.

Let the afterglow remind you that if your world collapsed, your existence would not. Let the memories overcome your doubt After all, traditions are remnants of joy.
