This is for my mother.

Merry Christmas, Mom
by Barbara Lynn Terry

I remember when I was little
and you would put the presents
under the tree on Christmas eve.

I miss those years so much mom
that I wish I had them back
because I love you with all my heart.

When my time on this earth is done
and we are joined again in heaven
you will again put the presents under the tree.

Even though our relationship went sour
maybe through no fault of our own
I love you mother and this is Jesus birthday.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MOM

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful, intimate and personal Christmas greeting and heartfelt wish, Barbie, and may it one day be fulfilled in full! And thank you for sharing your wonderful snow memories in review of my recent poem - I was delighted by your vivid remembrance. I do hope your Christmas has been joyful and that the new year will bring you much to celebrate and be blessed in. xx

When my time on this earth is done
and we are joined again in heaven
you will again put the presents under the tree.

In heaven or wherever; the point is, we shall all meet again at some place/time. These are fine sentiments, Barbara. Love and best wishes,

Regis
