A Christmas Miracle

This year is full of tragedy,

stuck at home, no family.

And I wish I could see,

you underneath Grandma's Christmas tree.

...

Tossing and turning in bed,

until I close my eyes and rest my head.

Then I'm taken back, like magic,

to a time less frantic,

with Grandma, and Mom, and everyone.

...

In my heart, we're around the table,

sharing stories and telling fables.

So close and so much fun;

not a person is missing, not a one.

...

Wintry blue light,

mistakes are made right,

leaving us lyrical

and hopeful a Christmas miracle,

will let you stay after tonight.

...

Bells will ring,

just like our hearts when you bring,

yourself through the door;

that's what memories are for,

once an angel takes flight.

...

In my heart, we're around the lit up tree,

unopened gifts fill us with glee.

Twinkling smiles on every face;

not a minute missed, not a thing to replace.

...

Tossing and turning in bed,

when the world feels like dread,

when I feel all alone,

like a Christmas miracle, you bring me back home.

...

For my brother Brad - I love you.

Thank you for reading.
