Emily - Winter in NOLA


WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES AROUND
When Christmas comes around, there is change
A change in mood
A change in weather
A change in spirit
When Christmas comes around, there is joy
Joy from giving
Joy from receiving
Joy from music
When Christmas comes around, there is love
Love from family
Love from friends
Love from God
When Christmas comes around, there is forgiveness
 Forgiveness for sins
Forgiveness for actions
Forgiveness for criticism
When Christmas comes around, spirits are lifted, and everything gets better.

Emily, age 16
