Picture by Alan Ayers

* * *

Christmas time is not the same
Because you are no longer here
I don't feel the need to celebrate
And more often I shed a tear

I take flowers to your grave
Where I spend a moment or two
It's the place where I come
To be closer to you

'tho you're not really here
I feel at peace in this place
Where the birds sing so sweetly
As the tears stain my face

I never have much to say
Except 'I love you Dad'
My memories I'll always cherish
So many treasured times we had

I remove the old dead flowers
And replace them with the new
As I remember with much fondness
How much I still love you

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

Sue, I'm so sorry that you're sad.

I'm glad that you have good memories, though.

Sue, this is one of the most tender poems I have read in quite some time....I believe it should have another spot at the top, as there are many of us who share these feelings. ~~S~~

Pen how you truly feel...
it is a safety-valve for the soul!
