One eve in December
The land bedecked with snow
We close our eyes and remember,
*
In the hearth, a dying ember
Continues, dimly, to glow,
For every absent member
*
School starts again in September
In October, spirits aglow
Distracted by words in November,
*
Stars in our eyes, we remember
Times and people from Christmases ago
Memories, more precious than amber
*
Snow starts to fall in November
Next month we a-caroling go
'Tis the Season of Joy in December
*
Love lights our hearts like an ember
Fond memories brighten its glow
Hand clasping hand we remember
Sorrow and Joy all at once in December
This poem is dedicated to my twin, Sally, who died on December 26, 2005
May she live forever in our hearts
