Here Comes Christmas

This year is new, a change in theme, something not done for a long time

The last few years there seemed no point, so just me and dog not thinking much

It’s like this for many I know, and I joined this group, not a negative thing, just how it was

Touring villages and towns, admiring the lights, the trees, the festivity

But from the outside, by choice, by design

This year is different, now with partner we will be with her family

I am not sure how I feel, I examine my feelings being honest with myself
I know I do this for her, and to honour the invitation of parents

I know I am happy, and will enjoy the day, cooking, talking

There will be moments of thoughts, back to a different family, when it was different

Perhaps I avoided this, maybe the reason

Time to jump back in feet first, see where this new moment goes to

Watch out Santa, here I come!
