Alpha List Happy Holidays Poems About This Site Poems for Free Copyright by Nicholas Gordon

Holidays are algorithms for Apportioning the time one spends on love, Pressing into certain days far more Pure grit than simple parity might prove. Yet as you make or buy the gifts and cards, Host the gatherings or travel to Old haunts, where each frail memory sends regards, Love finds its weight in what you say and do. Inequalities are natural, Dividing glory into more and less; As love is constant, yet some days fulfill Yearnings that on other days lie still, Sated by the holiday's caress.
