Growing Feelings

When life takes a surprising turn
Reality hits harder than steel
Another lesson we need to learn
Time to mend, reflect, and heal

Fighting for paper, silver and gold
Without those, who would we be?
Means to survive yet so cold
Wishing to start living free

Spirit searches for a deeper meaning
The light, so bright, shines in your soul
For your strengths rely on feelings
Not some material world of coal

Though love hurts beyond reason
It's brighter than any other glow
For this is your special season
Let your thoughts rest, and feelings grow
