Notes About The Poem

Christmas Mourning

Called up by the Lord
I should be happy
He suffers no more
But I miss him so
Nothing is the same
Or will ever be

In my livingroom
I put up a tree while
We were still hopeful
It was the day after
Remembrance Day

I keep it lit day and night
Wanting nothing more than
To stay alone with my sorrow
Me and my Christmas mourning
This tree by my side
