Christmas

Christmas time is here;
Full of holiday cheer;
Yet, I long for yesteryear,
When my children all were near…
In my eggnog drips a tear.

I wish that I could vivify my comments to you and to all better. But I end up babbling and making no sense. So, I will leave you a message today letting you know I did read your poetry and I enjoyed it. I love reading poetry and the poets here are so talented. Have a wonderful day Joe. Love, Carol

I miss my children Christmas morning as well , seeing them the day before or the next day is just not the same, enjoy the one you still have at home, empty nest syndrom sucks

Wipe up those tears and enjoy time with you young son, Joe. A very touching poem to which many empty nesters will relate. Best wishes in Francine's contest, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
