Christmas bells
On the radio

Someone
Singing
An old
German
Tune

Playing
Together
In the
Falling snow

Outside
In the cold

My father
Long gone

The son
I never had

Dear John,

Christmas can be a hard time for many of us.

Hang in there, it will be over soon.

Well done, John:

Christmas has a way, for sure, of sparking memories that were
and memories that cannot be.
