"L'Amour Fait Tourner le Monde"


I have no presents under the tree
No presence, at all, to enter my door.
Asked, would I be having company
Not any on this day, not like before.

I waited 'til night, the eve of last
Had promised myself, to celebrate me.
It didn't take long, for thoughts change fast,
Empty replaced what use to be.

I gathered the memories of years gone by.
Placed them gingerly on branches of green.
Gold and burgundy, pink bows tied,
Flowered the ribbons, a twist on the scene...

Arranged them differently, with new on my mind.
Added some thoughts, to lift me towards high.
The brightness suspended, with blue pillow find
Ornament softened with words, seen by I.

Satiny paleness, small but with cause
The words of "amour" scripted in black
Held me in warmth, a moment of pause
Reminding me soon, of you coming back...

A day of empty, or two, maybe three
Can be consoled by a comforting know
Of tomorrows arrival, as I gaze at the tree
Hope is reflecting in white lights that glow.

I have no presents under the tree
No presence, at all, have entered my door.
But filled am I, with the words left to see
"L'amour, fait tourner le monde, l'amour."

Love makes the world turn.....
I believe is the translation and though we may not feel a presence, no one is truly alone because we continue to reach out and when we do.....someone special will begin to love us and heal us and in that, we have a gift, a present....in someone's presence and I hope this is true in your life.
God bless.

Sunshine, thank you, I have been reading your words of late and I must say they are very impressive
