This Christmas, I'll not put up the tree. I'll not put up the outdoor lights Put up those Big bright red bows.
Maybe I'll get out my summer clothes, Take a trip where The snow and cold won't find me.. Lie beneath a tall palm tree Where I can't see, A single brightly lit Christmas tree..
It'd be just fine with me.
Or think about,how we loved this Season so. We'd put on those silly Santa hats and bows Wear them into town, Make everybody laugh and smile.Hey, weren't we the happy clowns? Wish everyone A Merry Christmas, Everywhere we'd go And slip on the ice laughing When we'd both fall in the snow. Just one short year ago? Just wish I could Relive those days again.. But sadly, Christmas just won't be Christmas, this year, Without you.

I've been to Canada twice and felt so safe. It is scary here. I hope you still have a nice Christmas.

Dear QuietStormF My heart goes out to you and yours, your sense of loss is evidently great Thank you for sharing such a beautiful yet sad poem that reflects the love you shared and tells of happy times sounds like you had a amazing relationship and friendship...one of true love May your fond memories be of great comfort to you now and always
I understand. Since my Mom died I can't stand to put up the Christmas tree or decorate and she passed away 10 years ago Aug. 5, 2008. I started my own decorations of putting a battery run white candle in each window of the house. Bright lights and cheerful music just isn't the same. Peace and quiet rules the day for me. My heart goes out to you for your lose. Take care.
Thanks so much to my special place I have counted on since the day I joined this group .. well let's just say., way back in the beginning.. You bring me to tears with your heartfelt words. I have and always will consider this my online home.. and I am sorry I am not as involved as I once was.. but I love this corner and all of the wonderful poets here, Love you all!
