ON CHRISTMAS EVE

On Christmas Eve I wish you, dear friends,
In joy you are so sad - in sadness merry,
So far on distant continents and lands,
You are so close to me - I wish I had you near.

Heart hardly can contain the love I carry,
To each and every one I stretch my hand
And wish God's grace upon you, wish you plenty!

Believe my words, we have no other way:
This corner is a chance, there aren't so many.
The one for all and all for one to burden take,
You are so close to me - I wish I had you near.

Hi Marikia,

I liked your attempt at a roundel and certainly the substance and sentiment are there. It's so interesting how each of us has their own style and try to express our own personal slant on things. All I did was reintroduce a very old style which appealed to me.

Once again you have written from the heart. cheers bouquet

Marikia, this is a touching, lovely heartfelt write for Christmas. I find the roundel form of poetry too restrictive, this is a nice attempt. But the spirit of your poem is beautiful!heart beating teddybear angel2 angel2 snowglobe Happy Christmas.sad flower angel

Hi Marikia! I love the poem! Cafetwo2010 (Jim) was my uncle. I remember him talking about you! ??
marikia
Hi, theleoqueen78, it is so nice to meet you. Poems that I wrote were often inspired by our close friendship with your uncle. He was so nice, friendly, considerate, a multi-talented man and a born poet. The physical distance between him and any of us was never an issue - distance really did not matter as long as he was here in this corner for us, ready to drop a comment to cheer us up and make us feel very special. HE was special, and his loss is a pain I will always carry with me. In joy we are so sad - in sadness merry! Enjoy Christmas and Happy New Year to you! hug
