Cannot Let Christmas Tree Go Yet
It is June 7th.
I am not willing to let Christmas go,
Because it did not happen this last year.
Not like it was supposed to.
Not like it always does.
A lingering family death changed everything.
Do you suppose we can take down the tree?
My husband dares to ask.
I give him a look
Of which I am not familiar.
He knows not to ask again,
for I am not ready yet….
