Another Christmas Without You

For my mother.

Glimmering silver and gold

Upon the snow covered trees

Christmas lights hung up high

On every house I pass by.

 

It's that time of year again,

The season of spreading joy

But frozen in time is my heart

To not have you here by my side.

 

Unable to feel my senses

Lost in the darkest of my memories

Colored hues of red and green fade

Into a cold mist of black and grey.

 

Icy tears glitter within the moonlight

Christmas just isn't the same

When a daughter has no mother

For smiles and gifts to exchange.

 

Silent whispers in the wind, glistening

Images of you on falling snow

My heart aches as it comes near

Another Christmas without you.

I say keep it as is, this is purely from your heart... this touches me so cause I lost my mom five years ago and feel the same way... but always remember when you keep loved ones in the heart they are always with us.

I cannot imagine. I buried my husband 3 years ago but I don't think this agony even begins to meet that of one who buries a child or a parent. My heart is with yours this Christmas. ((hugs)) Beautiful words...........
