How Sweet it Is! Finding the Light
Go on your way and find your light Go on your way and make your ideas bright Go on your way and search and seek Go on your way and take a peek
Sometimes the world will make you fall Sometimes the road will have some walls Sometimes your shoes will become untied Sometimes you’ll find that people lied
But… Keep going your way to find the light Keep going your way holding onto your dreams so tight Keep going through the bitter cold Keep going through and be so bold
And when your clothes are stained from dirt And when your hear is broken and hurt And when you don’t know which way to turn And when you don’t know why the flames won’t burn
Don’t give up…you’ll find the light Don’t give up…it will be worth the fight Don’t give up…and don’t turn around Don’t give up…because it will all be found — Min Joo Martin
The Christmas Wish If I could grant one wish to you, whatever would it be, that you’ll find peace and happiness and truly you’ll be free.
If I could give one wish to you, whatever would I say, that you would learn to love yourself, each and every day.
If I could give you one wish with all my love of heart, that you’ll find the one meant for you and never will you part.
If I can hand you one wish, whatever it could be, that you find the strength and love from your family.
If I could let you take one wish, here’s what I’d say, may you learn to look at others in a truly loving way.
Exit The rain and I made patterns with a snow‐white lattern The bright‐oh‐so‐white Be it trite or a thunderstorm So clean and outstanding the drops hit my head (It was really the roof they hit, but sensitivity struck early) The beaming were not ready to come out all alone, so I waited by the door by a sign that said EXIT that said exit. — Christine M. Singh
If I could let you see one wish, and let you know by heart, your faith will keep you safe at night and from you never part.
And as I say these words to you, I know down in my heart, although we go our separate ways we’ll never truly part.
My Christmas wish came true today, You’re always in my heart. — Michael Dickson/Frost
