stripped of vanity
learning to appreciate
all things as graces

stripped of vanity
learning to appreciate
all things as graces

Black Friday at home
eating and playing board games –
making memories

so thankful today
for life and the mind to choose
a hope not yet seen

even when cloudy
the school still gathers for food
a swirl of colors

merciless the wind
stripping away what we’ve done
leaving who we are
