You WILL be home for Christmas, this I know Though far from me, you are in silent pledge My love for you does linger, feign to grow It reaches out to you beyond the hedge A hedge you've built around your blessed heart You've shut me out, and yet I linger still For of your soul and life I must take part For none but you these longings can fulfill The tree and lights and all the Christmas cheer Dim in these eyes that fill with tears unshed And yet I smile, for to my heart you're near You come to me when all your words are read At Christmas time at home you're sure to be My heart I've made your home, and you're with me Eileen Manassian A repost....

Thanks, James. Sometimes we need to taste the bitter to relish the joy of the sweet. :)

It was, but very tiring.....I'm recovering for an evening now. My side of the family are gone to stay with my brother for a few days...now my brother's parents are arriving to spend a few days in our place....BUSY!!!

I think your poem makes a lot of sense. The goal of life seems to be not the pursuit of happiness but the pursuit of someone to share that happiness with. Emile.

Thank you, dear Sunshine. Your rays have warmed my heart. I'm very sad because my daughter will not be able to come for Christmas. She will come in early January and will stay a month, but it so hard not to have her with me. Christmas is a time we remember all our loved ones who are not with us....except in our hearts. Hugs

The yearning for the one we love gets stronger at Christmas and his/her coming is the one thing that will lit up the Christmas tree in our heart! Merry Christmas dearest Eileen, I am certain your wish will come true! Excellent work, filled with anticipation divine!
