60 plus years
I’ve lived here
Enjoyed most days
Watched my kids play
Went through changes
Traveled places
Made memories
Of Christmas days
Felt brokenhearted
When loved ones parted
There is one thing
That really stings
The silent voices
Leave me no choices
Daggers stab my heart
Tearing family apart
Words once said
Wish to be put to bed
Forgive and move on
Wasted time all along
No pretty pictures
Only puss and blisters
So my Christmas wish shall be
Family sitting near me
Peace ringing loud and clear
No shedding of tears.
Written by my feelings,
Merry Christmas to those dear to my heart
