Thank you Santa
For the gift of another year
A year in which each one of
us
Had our lives to fear.
Thank you Santa
For the gift of family and
friends
Whom we connected with on
Facebook, What's App, Zoom and Teams
Through this crisis with no
end.
Thank you Santa
For the gift of being stable
For the roof over our heads,
the coats on our backs
And the food on our tables.
Thank you Santa
For the gift of a safe and
comfortable home
Where we could work,
play, rest, and expand our horizons
In a way we had
previously never known
Thank you Santa
For putting more time with our kids and pets within reach
To be so much more present in
their lives
Was something none of us could
have hoped for, or dreamed.
Thank you Santa
For sparing us of traffic
jams and office stress
For giving us more time and
space in our days
To eat healthy, work less frantically, develop new hobbies...
and have time to decompress.
Yes, thank you Santa
For this highly unusual year
Where life as we know it, was
upended
But there were things to be
grateful for.
Dear Reader, do you agree
Even with its trials and
sorrows, 2020 brought us things to be thankful for
Take a moment to give thanks and praise for those things
As we close this unusual and challenging year.
