'Tis The Night |

'Tis the night before Christmas and I'm alone My spirit is cold and I'm chilled to the bone All is quiet except my memory Which reminds me of how it used to be I lovingly hang all the stockings with care Overwhelmed with sadness for yours won't be there My eyes mist up and tears slowly start to fall For Christmas should not be like this at all The children are all snuggled down for the night Yet the sparkle in their eyes is not as bright They too have memories of Christmas Eves past Clinging to the moments to make them last I'm in my night~gown sitting by the fireplace Aching to feel once more your warm embrace My fingertips trace my lips where once you kissed As my heart wonders if you know that you're missed Through the window~pane I sit and watch it snow When all of a sudden I see a bright glow I spring from my chair and look up to the sky And there hangs one lone star beaming on high It twinkles at me as if we are old friends I am overcome by the comfort it lends As I gaze up towards the Heavens above My heart fills with peace and your infinite love As quick as it came it then slipped away Yet the solace it gave to my heart will stay Taking one last glance where it faded from sight Merry Christmas to all and to all a good~night Merry Christmas in heaven my darling <3 https://youtu.be/2OVxTjfLAFw © Poet In Pink |

THIS is just simply beautiful even though sad to the heart. I so wish you brighter, fuller days to ease into your life. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Your poetry is an extraordinary demonstration of faith... quote:May your heart always be filled with peace and love, Miss Pinky. If you ever run short, I keep an extra bottle on hand. Just go out to the light and make a left. You know the rest of the way... ![]() Speak'n of 'ways', how about you and I takin' a little wintry stroll down that snow-covered lane, then brush the fallen flakes from the seat of that bench and tell what we know about poetry to one another? I might need a little help with directions though. I'll bring the Schnapps! ![]() Brightest of Blessings, my friend. ![]() ...just bein' Bluesy |
