The ceilings are cracking

Soon they break and the everything falls

Down

The worst part

The ceiling that broke down belonged to the fifth floor

And it became a domino effect, because the rest of the ceilings were also week

And it happened in a matter of minutes, but they felt like seconds

We thought it would last a little bit longer

At least until our next paycheck came through

But it didn’t come through

Hopeless because we are homeless

And because there’s no money to even stay at a motel.

Wow this was one bad year.

But then, Christmas comes and we are reminded of all of the goodness

There’s a reason we can feel warmth and coziness on a day that s probably freezing cold

There’s a reason we feel lie smiling on day like Christmas

Perhaps seeing children smile so brightly after opening their gifts is what makes us smile

Or the banquet that is prepared by those who have and want to give

Either way, all of this goodness came from one single source

The birth of a precious lamb whose fleece could out-whiten any cloud in the sky

Whose fur can out-warm any fire that’s burning bright in the houses tonight

It was the birth of the innocent lamb that gave us hope and made us believe
