Reflections During The Holiday Season Poem by Gary Bernard

He sat in the bright sun as it streamed through the living room window, the warmth kindled memories, lighting his way. In stillness, he felt a turning tide, realizing the greatest gifts he could provide.

Unconditional love, like the sun's constant glow, forgiveness for flaws, helping hearts to grow. Being truly present, through joy and strife, supporting dreams, valuing each life.

Encouraging paths, wherever they lead, holding to truth in thought and deed. Wisdom whispered when spirits sought, critique with care, when lessons are taught.

Fostering collaboration, hand in hand, cherishing moments, time's precious strand. In that moment, clarity hit like a wave, these gifts, he knew, were the hardest to give — priceless and immeasurable, they couldn't be bought, rooted in introspection and unselfish reflection, born from love, and quiet contemplation.
