Shiny paper, ribbons, and bows
strewn across the table
becoming an organized mess

Make it neat and make it pretty
perfection was the key
her job was always to impress

Days, weeks, and months were to be spent
in preparing this but
last minute shopping nonetheless

Some lights, some cards, always a tree
an old orange lighted star
forever a fixture on top

Presents and family dinner
mistletoe and turkey
A hearty “Ho-Ho-Ho’ from Pop

These are memories from my youth
of special times with you
but last year they have to stop

Although the day is still to come
the feeling and the love
will never again seem complete

Because instead of preparing
and planning together
my heart will thump a solo beat

I will think of you in heaven
and worship Him from here
knowing that you are at His feet

Love one another-let God do the worrying,
Rodney

You have so much remorse in this poem, i can understand what your feeling, I think we have a lot in common, I always right about what I've lost aswell . The poem was realy deep and meaningful . I loved it .

This is a lovely tribute to one that you obviously loved dearly though it is sad. The lonliness you feel will be filled with warm memories I am sure and knowing that at the feet of the Lord is where she rests should bring some peace to you. It is never easy, but the day will come when once again you will be side by side and until then, just hang on to the beautiful memories and honor your loved one in that way.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

Truely sad. A wonderful poem none the less, a touching trubute. Take care

Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you.
