HOLIDAYS ARE LITTLE MORE THAN MEALS

Holidays are little more than meals.
Of course the details differ, but not much.
Long histories have merged into a sea
In which the flavors blend quite favorably,
Destined for nouvelle cuisine. Yet such
A mixture has its own distinct appeals.
Years together are not spent in vain.
Some losses, though severe, are worth the gain.
