We were married on the 25 of December, 1980 a gift to each other
Christmas is nearing,
bells are ringing,
carolers singing, "Deck the Halls".
I hate to engage.
I'd give anything
to be with you one more time.
To see your bright eyes and smile
to hear your laughter.
I wallow ragging unconscious.
What care do I have in riches?
Without you my life looks rough ahead.
Inside I am a soul that feels so hollow,
I am tired of wallowing.
Family and friends swallow,
do not know how to follow.
My mourning for you
make them not want to be near.
I cannot sit back with self-pity and wallow.
Christmas songs playing,
a little Christmas tree by the window
full of bright colored lights,
gifts wrapped in bright colored paper
and bows under the tree,
all with a small note;
To:____ From: Santa,
for all of my children and grandchildren.
But I cannot promise I won't shed a tear.
I've wished for you in my heart,
A Merry Christmas.
This is our very first Christmas without you.
