Polaroid These Moments ~Marge Tindal~ 1999  'Twas the night after Christmas I'm thinking to recall, when presents were stuffed in closets down the hall. The merriment over, the family and friends gone, a return to the realm of a now-quiet home. The visions of memories stir me to write of moments like these not lost in the night. A daughter whose laughter fills up the room with caring and sharing, no place for gloom. Oldest son with his chosen wife-soon-to-be, locked in an embrace for the camera to see. Middle son sharing his delight of the new-found love, in his heart shining bright. Youngest son, grinning broadly, at the very idea of his two brother's folly. The father, the mother and of course, the brother, gathered together for this Christmas with others. Polaroid the moment of a family of love reminded of family gone to Heaven above. Sister Shari not present to see us this year. We remember her love with angelic cheer. In Heaven, I just know there's a Christmas tree decorated with angels of my memory. Mother, Dad, brother Mike, and sister Shari join in, singing songs sweetly heard of times that have been. For all things we are thankful we pause to recall, as friends touched our lives with a gift or a call. I'm driven to exclaim as they come into view ... Thank God for memories ! Thank God for YOU ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

A sadly touching happiness. I can only hope the Christmas Day will find you with yet another bright memory. My thoughts will be with you this holiday season. |
