What Matters Most

I love going back home to see my family

I love that there are still kids all around

It seems like only yesterday that was me

Counting all the presents on the ground

Wish I could take it in a bottle

Open when I need throughout the year

The laughter and the comfort of just knowing

Everyone I love has gathered near

What a joy

What a life

All these moments

Shine a light

Now it’s clearer

I belong here

As all I hold dear comes in close

This time of year always shows me

What matter most

I know it happens every winter

But it still feels cinematic

Lights go up on every corner

ornaments down from every attic
