My joy is buried

Somewhere

And I can’t seem to find…

I feel my smile is downturned

And my cheeks are aching

With the weight of the frown

trying to turn it upside

Down

Has been an effort nowhere

To be found…

The state of affairs

The upcoming holiday

And my hubby’s reiterating

His dismal feeling

Keeps pulling the feelings farther

And farther down…

Is it the winter cold

The stormy forecast

Or am I exhausted from

My travels…

Get up… shake it offf

Maybe I need a

Cola this holiday season…
