The blessings of Memories from Christmas's Past
Christmas Poem
It's hard to believe it's almost Christmas 2023.
Time has flown and as I get older I find myself looking back to those days
so many beautiful memories come back to me.
putting the tree up and decorating it remembering your eyes lighting up
Your innocence so beautiful. Where have those years gone?
You my darling children are all grown up. One of you is gone lost to this
world and yet I can picture you all as if it were yesterday.
Unwrapping your presents with excitement and glee, your faces a picture.
Now I sit alone lost in thought wishing I could bring those days back.
I miss you Andrew the day you died broke my heart
The chain we built is now broken but I have my memories.
I feel blessed to have had you my children and with a tear in my eye
Those days I will always treasure and when I catch myself feeling sad
I have been blessed in so many ways, memories are priceless
Merry Christmas one and all!

I am originally from the UK. Now living in New Zealand. My life so far has been a rollercoaster. I have children with special needs, lost my previous husband in 2008 and in 2021 my son Andrew died. Writing has and is cathartic for me!
