A Holiday Note

Merry Christmas, my Joshua
And, Happy New Year

We have the same Christmas tree 
Year after year (LOL)

Jonathan put it together	
And, I helped with the lights

We decorated your place
With a Christmas spray, nice

Put a lighted Santa Claus
On top for display

We had a pumpkin to remove
It’s Christmas ~ time to improve

I will miss your gifts, they were always unique
Boxes I collect, decorative and ornate

Cinnamon in the air
Cookies we baked.

God Bless you, my son
We will see you one day.

Please do not worry about us.....
We will be okay.
