Tonight is a night for reminiscing For you dearest Mom I'm sorely missing The warmth of the season is just not here For gone is your laughter and yuletide cheer The tree lights this year cast a dim dull glow There is no sparkle in the falling snow The cold of winter chills me to the bone This Christmas I'll spend without you alone Each ornament placed upon the ole' tree Is nestled lovingly in memory Of years gone by when you added your touch My heart is aching I miss you so much Baking cookies this year was not the same When a batch burnt you were not here to blame The scent of gingerbread hangs in the air The sweetness now soured by your empty chair I missed us bustling from store to store Wrapping gifts this holiday is a chore When I hung up all the stockings with care I could not omit from hanging yours there It may seem foolish but it soothes my soul It gives me comfort and makes me feel whole You have taught me well I will do my part To get through Christmas with a happy heart © Poet In Pink Background music https://youtu.be/pSk2uV6e63c |

quote:Such warm, yet painful sentiments, my dear Miss Pinky. But this, your last stanza, shows your strength. The line about the 'burnt cookies' was pure gold. You do your mother proud.  (Excellent Kenny G selection) ...just bein' Bluesy |

Just thought I'd stop by again to leave you this most obvious tune, Miss Pinky. No! No! Put your purse away! You can't buy this! It's okay, really...No extra charge...but an extra smile would be graciously accepted! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I2f1UJjiAA ...just bein' Bluesy |

Pinkgrieving, You do as well in blue as you do in pink! This is a lovely, warm and wonderful poem. Bluesy is right, you did your mother proud here. Heck, I'm proud of you and you aren't even mine! ~L |

A bittersweet lament. But this is how it must be, isn't it? Beautiful poem. One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many. |
