The Holidays

The holidays are not the same

As when I was a kid,

When every year we did exactly

What we always did.

 

The relatives who gathered

Were the ones who always showed,

With favorite recipes prepared

In nana/grandma mode.

 

No one was on vacation

Or unable to attend

And you hung out with your cousins,

Couldn’t FaceTime with a friend.

 

Alas, today, the world has changed

And so we must adjust,

Accepting that the way things were

Has somehow bit the dust.
