Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

A few Christmases ago with some of my son's new family and my mom visiting us at my house!

What Christmas Means To Me

Candies, Christmas songs and presents

Held me one time in their thrall.

Reunions, however, had true Christmas essence

In that childhood I recall

So fondly, but nowadays it seems

Too many folks I used to know have

Moved on or passed away. My dreams

Are not the same, but family

Still rules in this happiest of holidays for me!
