Christmas hugs

wherever you are.

Christmas cold mornings
digging out the car,
cups of hot cocoa
blended into memory
wishing to see you,
knowing it cannot be.
Hugging them a little
tighter, for you,
today.

Brrrr! That's precisely why well LEFT Missouri! LOL. But, snow does look more Christmas-y, doesn't it. If we could have snow and cold JUST for Christmas… sigh…

Sweet little poem. Loved it.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes thanks. Funny enough we had a green Christmas this year.

[MomzillaNC]

So did we -- but, we usually do in NC.

KL, warm, cozy, and full of heart. This is a beautiful expression of your spirit. Great writing, again and again. I don't think I've particularly disliked anything that floats through that head of yours and lands on your pen. Thank you for this treasure...:)

Thank you very much.

This touched my heart. We mourn what we've lost but we need to hold a bit tighter to what we have. You send that hug across generations in this poem. Just beautiful.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, I appreciate that. The song prompted the poem.

Somethings, are never meant to be, KL. No matter, how hard we wish them to be. As I think, about my dad, oma, and opa, would knew that special touch, to brighten my darkest day, into bright light. For them, I shed a tear, every day, wishing, I was, a little child, all over, again.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

[therisa]

Your welcome, KL.

This is beautiful, it's really touched me in a special place.
Hugs.

Thank you. I love this song. I sang it at church, and I thought of people, mostly my grandfather, but others as well, I won't see this Christmas.

[Matching Socks]

Keep them in your heart. :-/
It's a beautiful KL. xo

This one sent a chill up my spine today. Sad and so filled with that want we often feel this time of year. Beautiful KL, but kind of lonely.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, thank you. Sometimes pretty songs make you think of sad things.
