Brotherly Christmas Love

Silver streamers and many a purple light
glowing against a splendid tree of white.

The hallway's decked in lavender and blue
conveying warmth to all within it's view.

Will be a special holiday this year-
my long-lost brother will visit me here.

The years have rolled by-sadly we lost touch
but I never stopped loving him so much.

He's promised to come so I'm making things jolly-
I even found some lovely purple holly!

Everywhere he'll see my unique style
and feel the warmth as we sit for awhile.

We'll speak of things that neither of us knew
of life and love and trials we've been through.

This Christmas all the years will disappear
and I will be so blessed to have him near!

This gave me goose bumps. This year my brother will not be in his usual place at my table as I lost him in October. I am glad you have found yours and hope you thoroughly enjoy being together. Congratulations on your poem and win. Love, Joyce

If this is true that will be so wonderful to have him visit you for Christmas. We often wonder what drifts families apart and when life is so short why we waste so much time. Lovely poem Deb. love phyl
