A Different Christmas

 

It's Christmas! It's Christmas!

Though different I'll agree

No carolers a caroling

No cutting a Christmas Tree

 

Staccato visions of Christmas past

Families gathering round the tree

Bright packages with shiny bows

Children shrieking out with glee

 

It's a Christmas carved from memories

Of what once again will be

A day when gifts don't mean as much

As you being here with me

 

It's a Christmas meant to reminiss

To find light within our soul

A day of counting blessings

And making gratitude our goal

 

It's a year to look inside the heart

Raise our glass to those we miss

Hold on tight to those we can

Take some time to share a kiss

 

Christmas is not about packages

Stacked tall beneath a tree

It is a time of giving of our self

To our friends and family

Such an apt, timely, and meaningful poem, Sherry. My latest posts here (I do not post very often) are also along the same theme. Love, peace, and best wishes to you,
