A Christmas Wish to Meet Mum

A Christmas Wish to Meet Mum

A Poem by Thomas Ryan

In the quiet of the Christmas night's embrace,

A wish unfurls, adorned with tender grace.

To meet once more, where memories reside,

With twinkling stars and love that won't subside.

 

Oh, mum, your absence in this festive cheer,

Echoes longing, whispers so sincere.

The ornaments gleam, the hearth aglow,

But yearning for your presence seems to grow.

 

Through frosted panes, where snowflakes dance,

I dream of moments, in a fleeting glance.

Your laughter, gentle as the falling snow,

Your warmth, a hearth where love would flow.

 

In every twinkling light upon the tree,

I find a spark of your sweet company.

The Christmas wish, a heartfelt plea,

To share this joy, just you and me.

 

Though distance holds us worlds apart,

Your love enwraps, it fills my heart.

In every carol, in every rhyme,

Your spirit dances through this time.

 

So, here I sit, by candle's glow,

Sending love to where your spirit knows.

A wish that soars on Christmas air,

To meet again, somehow, somewhere.

 

Until that day, when stars align,

I'll hold your memory, a treasure mine.

For in this wish, in every prayer,

I feel your love, forever there.
