Remembering

Once again on christmas morn
I'll arise with kids on the bed
opening their stockings.
Then downstairs to a hearty breakfast
and presents from under the tree.
There'll be laughter,
good food,
good booze,
and good cheer.
But underneath all that,
a gentle sadness,
because you're not here.


In memory of my mum.

A simple and moving tribute. A gift for your mum.

Very touching I don’t know what is it about poetry but it cheers the sole. Quite well put;

"But underneath all that,
a gentle sadness,
because you're not here."

I love this part. Thanks for stopping by Happy Holidays. Peace & Love.

Many thanks for your kind words.
May your best of last year, be the worst of this year.
Does that make sense!
