Christmas Is Lonely Without You

Christmas Is Lonely Without You

 

C hristmas is lonely without you

H olidays just aren't the same

R emembering when you were a little boy

I  wish I could turn back the hands of time

S pend just one more Christmas with you

T ears stream down my face when I think about it

M y heart aches more and more each passing day

A nother year has come and gone

S weetheart I miss you so very much

 

I dreamed I walked with you in shades of midnight blue

S treets lined with Christmas Trees all lit in different hues

 

L eaving me longing for the days of Christmas past

O n a lonely street I walk tonight

N ot a soul in sight

E xcept for one

L ady dressed in an aura of white light

Y oung maiden she sang of heaven's delight

 

W eep not for thee she cried out to me

I  did not understand this angel's plea

T he lord giveth and the lord taketh away

H alo adorns his head you see

O n gallant eagle's wings he soars

U p in the clouds his spirit resides

T hen I awoke from the dream

 

Y es I dreamed God gave me an angel when I held you in my arms

O n the day that you were born I was given such a precious gift

U nique and one of a kind and that gift was you my beloved son

It is just not possible for me to feel your pain because I'm finding it tough to even go through this poem. Yes, it is hard to read this.

There are some situations that you can never prepare yourself for. I don't think any parent ever imagines how would cope if such a thing happens. I don't think that if and when it happens, it is possible for them overcome this grief. Such wounds continue to hurt all through life.

I've told you before that I admire your strength. The fact that you're able to put down your emotions into words, that you're able to go on despite everything.

This is such a beautifully written piece. He must have been lucky to have a mother like you.

Excellent expression of the bittersweetness of the season. All the joys you shared are remembered, and that is the sweetest. The loss and lingering sorrow both show through this work. Excellent work, very powerful

Your depiction of an angel in your dream was very moving. I like that touch, and it fits really well with you overall description of loss here. I wish that you could have your son with you. It saddens me that you can only have him in spirit. :o(

This is really a brilliant and such a powerful Acrostic.
So beautifully sad and well written.
You know, Christmas is a festival which brings happiness and light to our lives but sometimes, there is just too much darkness in our life which evens the brightest festival can't vanish.
The beauty of loneliness and sorrow has been depicted beautifully here.

You piece touches my heart... as a close friend of mine was missing her babies today too. I will tell you what I told her... The words written on your page... have reached from here to Heaven.. Your baby knows every word and the love you feel in your heart for your son transcends all bounds.. and he is your angel blessing you every day! :)

Lovely and touching ink! :)

sometimes i dont dare think of christmas
we all have a love one that we loved so dearly
but i lost ma loved one during da summer

summer becomes hell for me ma thoughts
go out to tat one wishin tat i may join them
then it takes meds to jolt me out of that

maybe that is to end this summer's visit
my annual hospital visit is was discovered
a blood chemistry imbalance during tests

how can it be a blood chemistry imbalance
could cause depression of a lost loved one
they just dont understand the pain of the loss
