Image result for snow frosty window

Frosty the snowman visited, all my windows with snow trimming, and beyond the snow is f a l l i n g. It is beautiful- a winter fairy land! Oh, it is not right that I am all alone, and a tear falls down my cheek- remembering, singing Jingle Bells and songs off key. Dad would dress up as Santa Claus , and elves helped him pile up all those toys. I knew it was my Dad, ho ho ho, and Mom bought the gifts, but it was still w o n d e r f u l. Oh, the sparkling tree and decorations, Mom was cooking and Grandma rocking. I hold these "memories close to my heart". And as I fall asleep this special Eve, I recall a sled ride pulled by two giant horses, flying through the woods- sled bells ringing. Between my Mom and Dad, happy s n u g g l e d under a blanket. This is a lovely memory I keep within, and on Christmas morning I walk in deep snow, to lay red k i s s e d roses on their tombs . . . . _______________________ November 26, 2016 Poetry/Verse/Memories Of Christmas Past Copyright Protected, ID 16-853-124-0 All Rights Reserved.

This is my own poem but reading what I wrote on that last line stabbed me in the heart with a sharp dagger ... the reality of it is still hard for me still fathomless....it hurts so bad.

Sad, but wonderful. Memories keep their love close. I am so glad you had wonderful one. Congratulations on your win with this wonderful poem. Big Smiles, Dane Ann P.S. Message me more about that sled ride pulled by two giant horses. I bet that was as much fun as speeding down a hill on a John Deer lawn more...lol...probably more.
