What’s Happened To Tradition?

Contributed by Nan Potts

Snow is falling,

Winter’s here to remind of traditions near.

Halloween’s passed,

Treats’ sweet joy eaten now hails days to enjoy.

Shop shelves’ arrayed,

Fine colorful displays of Christmas galore.

Yuletide Season,

For a good reason rings from thoughts of childhood.

What is missing,

In between an absence of traditions seen.

Thanksgiving’s grace,

Is ignored, changed instead to be abhorred.

Who would believe,

Gratitude for blessings giv’n are now deemed lewd!

Who dares shame one,

Granting grace and giving thanks for their case?

We all share this,

The same trace each one has called the “Human Race”.
