Hush of Christmas Past
white snow lay across the earth
like a soft blanket
families cuddle close
before a welcoming fireplace
trimming the tree
laughing together
creating memories
a time of hope and cheer
young ones happy smiling faces
looking at the bright tree
waiting for Santa to bring presents
maybe a treat
hoping he knows they have been good
my dream would be to go back in time
when loving family surrounded me
memories are bittersweet
past Christmas images fill my mind
bringing sadness and regret
So much heartache
please hush Christmas, let me forget
