Generate meaning
1
Christmas makes me realize how greatly things do change
2
Friends lose touch, people age, and family moves away
3
But it is what had stayed the same that gives me the most tears
4
For I've had the same Christmas cake for almost thirty years
5
Granny made it back in sixty-eight and gave it to my mom
6
Who gave it to her uncle who gave it to her son
7
Who then gave it to me and that is where it stuck
8
For I was only three months old and clearly out of luck
9
Each Christmas of my childhood that fruit-brick would return
10
My mom would place it on a plate and tell me I must learn
11
That it is rude to get a gift and not put it to use
12
And every year I'd take a bite and chip another tooth
13
After fifteen years of misery I'd had all I could take
14
That summer I went camping and dropped it in the lake
15
I thought that I was rid of it, but on Christmas eve
16
There it was "from Santa Claus" under the Christmas tree
17
Each year I'd try to lose it but it would just return
18
So I cried out "oh why have I been given such a burden?"
19
A voice replied, "it's not a curse, but the greatest gift"
20
"For when all else abandons you, you will still have it."
21
For all of man's creations slowly waste away
22
Relationships do crumble and buildings do decay
23
The pyramids and stonehenge slowly disappear
24
But if they were made of Christmas cake they'd last a million years
