Happy, happy holidays to you!
A chance to wish you well, and to renew,
Perhaps, the ties that bind us to each other,
Perhaps to strengthen those we might uncover.
You are bound to me by years of love,
However distant they might to you prove,
Old, persistent childhood memories
Lingering like poignant melodies,
In which your grandfather, a child like me,
Dreamed of what his future life might be,
As I worshipped him, my older brother,
Years and years before his first-born daughter
Sang you in her knowing arms to sleep.
