'sad Christmas Snowflakes'

*** The church brightly lit, I stand in the falling snow, recalling Christmas . . . As the snow kisses my hair, weeping, I must turn away. ___________________________ December 3, 2013 Poetry/Tanka/'Sad Christmas Snowflakes' Copyright Protected, ID 12-524-090-03 All Rights Reserved, 2013, Constance La France For the Standard contest, Not So Happy Holidays, sponsor, Andrea Dietrich, Judged 12/2013 Fourth Place

I can almost see this as a very sad portrait.....a painting you have brought to life. Well done, Constance.
