Holiday Blues

I have the Holiday blues. I thought maybe this wopuld help.

Spring rains brought flowers
Summer breezes brought sun
Fall chills brought changes
Like every year before

Snowy white fields are absent
This Christmas season
But the crisp air has arrived
At Winter's finest

Families have gathered
For the Thanksgiving meal
Shopper crowded the stores
For the Holiday shopping

Now Holiday music bounds
And lighted displays are up
People are smiling
Joy is in the air

But I find it hard to rejoice
In this Holiday season
For all is not the same
As it was the year before

I lost my father
In the cold Spring air
Summer laid his spirit to rest
But Winter has come

And my heart is lost
To the customary joy
And hearty laughter
This season is known to bring

I can only rely on a faith
That carries me through
That his soul and laughter
Will follow me through this life

This time to which you refer here is always difficult for me as well although I am not sure why. A heartfelt and meaningful offering, Robin. Love and peace to you. Regis

HELL NO. let his lackies earn him his freaking bonus (which we never see)

nothing to do with your poem, just the title opened up this chasm of bitterness within

and here you lost someone--stupid me

i can relate to this; had the holiday blues myself, but thankfully i am over them now. even completed my shopping today; did it all in one day!! (i am so proud of myself...well, okay, NOT QUITE done, but close, close! still have to finish up shopping for my twin sister; with her, she is never done, and it is always christmas with her around!) great write! but all we CAN do is reflect on the TRUE meaning of christmas..JESUS CHRIST!-- and concentrate on THAT and to heck with everything else!

It'll be hard for all of us, but we'll make it through together.
