five of us did not give thanks five of us just did our time going through the motions of seven in remembered eye there were times when no one spoke interrupted by a joke that never garnered smile-- five of us is all that's left brokerage to be the next silence humbling our breath wishing we could stay awhile as we wish ourselves away...

"five of us did not give thanks five of us just did our time" Which is why I rarely go 'home for the holidays'. ![]() |

losses are painful. i'm lucky to have never suffered a death in the family but if i had i would prolly feel like this aroung the holidays. great write, but remember: use these times to remember your loved ones fondly. Of course you can do whatever you want when you channel your pain into a poem like that. Meg Meg- And the Texan pushed the Mexican out of the plane and screamed, "Long live the ALAMO!!!!!!!!!" |

This write really hit home, Karen. You have me pondering deeply with this. I will make an extra effort to appreciate Christmas and the persons still present around the table this coming year. Thank you for that. ![]() Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

My sweet friend, holidays can be so painful sometimes, can't they? I sure did miss my daughter, but I do know where she is....even if she is thousands of miles away from me. Heart hugs to you, K ![]() Ethel |
