Christmas Mourning
On Christmas mourning, I take this pen
For those that I’ll not see again
In glow of tinseled Christmas trees
With smiles as wide as rolling seas
On Christmas mourning, I think once more
On longing for a sweet encore
Of Grandma’s much adored fruitcake
That took all day for her to make
When cancer, strokes and heart disease
Had not yet dimmed our Yule’s reprise
And youthful fancy ruled the day
With sounds of glee on full display
On Christmas mourning, I also know
I’m grateful that I’ll not outgrow
The memories I entertain
And share with loved ones that remain
