Jacob Mahaney & Diesel

Oh how I love you

your heart's so warm and true

so far away from home my son, I go on missing you.

My heart travels back in time to when you were a boy

 watching your excitement

as you unwrap your Christmas toys.

Now you are a young man and must make it on you own

Falling Falling to the bottom

to a place so all alone.

I am told that it is in that place where you will finally be

able to see yourself

as the man who holds the key...

I need strength, must be strong to resist the urge within

to swoop on in and fix it all

make it right for him.

So as I ponder and fret for weeks, a Christmas gift for you?

No more worries, I BELIEVE

AND I HAVE FAITH IN YOU.

MERRY CHRISTMAS JACOB, I LOVE YOU!

Yes, Active Rain IS addictive. My first time in I had trouble turning off my computer. There is a wealth of knowledge, experience and some great people from everywhere on AR...I felt compelled to read and read and read all the time wondered why it took me so long to jump on board. I say this with a giddy feeling of excitement, as if I have stumbled upon a golden treasure. I truly appreciate the comments coming in welcoming me aboard. There is so much to learn and share!!!  How exciting!!

As I reflect on years gone by, past Thanksgivings and family gatherings there is one thing that has not changed, even during these uncertain times we currently face, and that is the love we hold in our hearts for our family and friends. Oh yes...The winds are beginning to howl out there and it's getting colder. Soon the snow will be flying all around us. Hopefully not as thick and deep as 2007. But keep in mind there is one thing we can count on. There will always be someone with open arms and an open door to welcome you home. Even if some of you chose not to go there. Remember, "Home Is Where The Heart Is." -LAU
