Family comes first within my thoughts,
swirling dreams of holidays past
and candy on the mantle.
Friends come next within my thoughts,
twisting paths of encouragement
and frisbee on the field.
School comes last as all is fit,
for it is what keeps me from all of these
that I said before.
Forgive me if I seem nostalgic,
but even chocolate is allowed to be bittersweet.
