Christmas Would Last All Year- Madison Haley (2011)





Christmas Would Last All Year

Green or red or gold or white
Stockings the tree the Christmas lights
All these things we see and touch
Means Christmas to us
Hot chocolate or some gingerbread
Carols sang, ‘Merry Christmas’ said
All these things we taste and say
Means Christmas today

They say there’s 12 days of Christmas
But to us it should last all year
The joy of bein jolly
Shouldn’t be kept to old St. Nick
Could this season last forever
If we all became as one
If we shown just like the star above
Christmas would last all year
All year

Service, kindness, charity
Makes us all the more merry
All these things inside we feel
Means Christmas is real
Smile, laugh, peace and hope
No more fallin on a downward slope
All these things inside we feel
Means Christmas is real
  
They say there’s 12 days of Christmas
But to us it should last all year
The joy of bein jolly
Shouldn’t be kept to old St. Nick
Could this season last forever
If we all became as one
If we shown just like the star above
Christmas would last all year
All year

The spirit we feel this one time a year
Turns us into the child we know so dear
What we see, touch, taste, and hear
At Christmas time could bring a tear
But not like the tears of joy and love
That comes from angels up above
In the form of you and me
Far beyond what under that Christmas tree

They say there’s 12 days of Christmas
But to us it should last all year
The joy of bein jolly
Shouldn’t be kept to old St. Nick
Could this season last forever
If we all became as one
If we shown just like the star above
Christmas would last all year

All Year

Could this season last forever
If we all became as one
If we shown just like the star above
Christmas would last all year

Let’s make it last all year

26 Beautiful Hearts- Tribute to those in Connecticut (original)

My heart goes out to those who have been effected by the tragedy Friday morning in Connecticut. There's not really anything that can truly help in a situation like this, but I decided I would write a song for those who are in need of comfort at this time. This is for you. 26 Beautiful Hearts Just the day before Not knowing what was in store Families gathered with full hearts Never wanting to be apart They play and they sing Letting Christmas carols ring Cause just the next day There’d be nothing to say Her six year old daughter And his six year old son Were makin Christmas gifts For them to love When the chaos and the screamin Became something they weren’t dreamin Running down halls, tears were shed Tryin to think Christmas carols in their head Tryin to get to a place Where’d they’d be safe But now they sing with the angels up in heaven Connected with those from 9/11 Safe and free from harm There’s a chai...

Lessons Learned in 2014

Image
I’ve learned so many things over this past year that I can’t help but share them. I’ve decided to share what I learned in each month as the year progressed. These lessons include stories, insights, and advice that I was given to get through the good times as well as the hard times. Whether you know me well or not, I hope you can relate to any one thing, or at least know that you aren’t alone. I believe we should share our experiences with others who may be struggling with similar things so that we might be able to help each other through our hardships. Here we go. January- Just because it’s a new year, that doesn’t mean you start with an empty slate. If you don’t keep up with your good habits, the bad ones seep through and they don’t fix themselves. YOU must do the fixing. The lesson here that I learned was that just because the New Year brought new motivation, that didn’t mean I would miraculously become someone better. Not without continuous hard work on my part, anywa...
