Notes About The Poem

No matter where you are, in a four bedroom home, or hotel room, home is where love is and not in the memory of where it used to be. This is what I had to learn to let go of. Yes, the memories with all of my children, the Christmas tree, the ornaments, shopping from the list of what each of them wanted for Christmas... these are memories I will forever cherish; but I allowed those same memories pierce me with sorrows, having lossed it all. If you can’t let go of what home used to be, how can you make home where you are? I am thankful that God enlightened me to this, this Christmas season, and I have found new healing, and new freedom to celebrate Christmas present. I don’t have the kind of Christmases I used to have in home; but what matters most is there is and always be, Christmas in my heart.

Christmas In My Heart

CHRISTMAS IN MY HEART 

No Christmas tree, no twinkling lights
No halls decked with boughs of holly 
No songs of Christmas sentiments 
sung by those making jolly 

No shrills of laughter of little ones 
or the pitter patter of their little feet 
or handmade photographic ornaments
Marking years of memories 

As I sipped my evening broth that night 
From a Christmas mug of a collection I managed to save
Gazing from my window at spray of stars, 
Thinking of Christmases past and the joys they once gave.

A moment of reflections of Christmases past, 
usually followed by tears
For what used to be and is no more;
Since seemingly a decade of years.

But instead, like a light giving a blessed hope 
for what God must have in store.
I am toughened by the letting go
of all I embraced before 

This gleam of hope sparked a faith renewed 
peering from my window at a starry night,
I was reminded of the night our Savior was born 
God's beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is the Blessed Hope of Glory,
His grace the gift of life,
The joy that celebrates the season,
Amidst a world of darkness, He is Light.

What matters more than life's sorrows and woes,
Hope renewed breeds a brand new start
For the hope that lies within me now,
Christmas in my heart.
