Whilst having a natter, tame turkey type chatter

Tears for a Mother
Fears for a Father gone
Fate deals an unfair hand
The door to youthful joy closing
on adolescent shoulders imposing
grown up responsibilities instead

Eyes sadly deprived 
See not the panorama
of pursuing cloud shapes
that conceal a frivolous...

He tried to remain jolly while holding onto squirming, screaming, kicking and 
scratching children.
Those who did not cry had endless lists of toys and games they wanted...

Not in the sleigh with Santa and his elves,
Laid in a manger, through a virgin birth,
Not laid upon a store’s vast, crowded shelves.

"The Christmas Wars"



Christmas is never stolen
the parent dresses a tree 
every year,

calling a dream
home, the dream
that matters most...

A show of love for...

All alone in her rocking chair

But no one seems to care

Her children, now grown with kids of their own
But they...
