A Silent Christmas

It's going to be a Silent Christmas Now that my Star has Gone Our tree Stands Bare and Lonely Without YOU here at home I'll watch the fading Pictures Of Christmas times before Remembering happier moments Warm Hugs hanging on the Walls It's gonna be a Sad Christmas Smiles have gone away Bells of tears fall Ringing In Joys of Our Yesterday's If I had one Wish for Christmas I'd wish that You were here May this Prayer reach you in Heaven Saying "I love YOU... and I Miss You Dear"

Lost my Gran on the 29th Dec, so when heading towards christmas each year you could see the sadness in my Granpa eyes, I think your poem says it all, very heartfelt write Arturo . . . -_-

I think you covered the feeling. Something half couples have to face if they stay together. looks likely we will both be putting that off this year. Just happy to be here as last Christmas my cancer appeared but has declined invitation for this Christmas and hopefully for a few more to come. Best regards David in NZ

Even though I sense a sadness to this lovely poem, I can tell there were a lot of great memories too. So, lets make a toast to the ones who made our Christmases past such memorable ones, and be happy for that. ...Maria Hugs

Wow. Came to your site and fell into this piece. Heartfelt and hurting. I have a saying “ Thank God for the sufferings of his poets“ in recognition it is so often those who feel and hurt so deeply that reach to paint the color and passion of their soul upon the page. “Oh the scars that do not show” Yet, the moon and stars call. Touching work. Thank you ! Darrell

Christmas can be a time of joy or of despair...give with your heart to those less fortunate and you might bring back a little bit of the magic back to your heart
