Another Holiday Season Without You

Another Holiday Season Without You

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)
"

this will be the 7th Christmas without my mom

"

 

So much time has gone by

since earning your place

in the world without pain

yet the void you left

has failed to recede.

Especially this time of year

where the bells don’t chime

like they did when your reflection

shined in them,

Still the tunes ring with a festive mood.

Those aromas from the kitchen

Have slowly begun to whet my appetite

with a lot of adjustment

to my taste palette.

The tree is decorated

just as eloquent

as my childhood memories recall

but the angel on top

will never replace the one in my heart.

It is another holiday season

without you

still I have the gift that keeps on giving,

you watching over me.

The precious moments caught my eye and then to have it be a poem about your memories with your Mother made me sigh. As you know we both share this pain, and we also carry the memories and joys of those years when we did have them..healthy and whole..xo Beautifully said..xo

"but the angel on top
will never replace the one in my heart."

"still I have the gift that keeps on giving,
you watching over me."

These are my favorite lines over here. They're the most touching and the most reminiscent of your mother. I hope she rests in peace. Your nostalgic tone is touching too.

Thanks Miss wild one. I have a hard time reading it.
Honoring your parents is one of the best ways to validate their lives and your own.
A touching poem for Christmas Cowboy. I know she would cry a tear of joy reading this.

thanks you are to kind
Bless you. This is such a fitting tribute and makes one realise that it's not always happy memories for everyone at Christmas time. You seem to have had great, warm and special Christmases courtesy of your mom and she will leave that in your heart for ever so that you can pass it on to radiate a glow each year to others. Keep the memory sweet.
Thank you xx

Wise words Babs.... thank you.
Dale,
Reading this puts a lot in perspective... the little things that aggravate are minute, compared to the heartache of losing your mother, your world...

You have expressed a heartfelt piece... a loving tribute, my dear friend.~xoxo~
