Sharon Ruebel Poet Rhyme

Christmas In My Heart

I put up the tree for all to see
although you won't be here with me

The bubble lights are shining bright
I leave them on throughout the night

I decorate with Gold and Red
your favorite colors I think you said

I even placed a dove or two
upon the mantel here for you

I thought we'd share our Christmas dear
instead your there and I am here

The Christmas musics playing low
the fireplace is all a glow

I took and hung some mistletoe
although your kiss I'll never know

I know its over I know were through
I guess I can't help missing you

This Christmas eve when the tree is lit
please think of me a little bit

Although we may be miles apart
I'll celebrate within my heart...

Jancarl Campi December 10, 2010 at 2:02 PM Dearest Sharon, this is such a sad, sad poem. This time of year really should be happy, but sadly it is not always that way. I hope you have someone with you during this season. Been there before and the sadness can be overwhelming. I hope you do find someone to share life with. Take care and God bless you. I thank you for your comment on "beam me up scotty" I am pleased that I made you smile.

Carolyn Devonshire December 9, 2010 at 4:58 PM Feelings of loss seem to intensify around the holidays, Sharon. Hold the good times in your memories, but keep your heart open to someone new who is just dying to meet you. I'm sure he's out there. Keep the faith, dear. A very moving poem. Love, Carolyn
