timmy's poetry - 68. Seasonal Ramble
Christmas lights of red and green twinkle and shine
Illuminating rooms and roofs
Snowmen wear last year’s scarves and fresh carrots
Hearts are glad and houses warm; welcoming family home
Sadness is an unwelcome visitor
When loved ones are gone
Or if we are alone
Melancholy settles into our bones
But Christmas is a time to remember
To keep alive love and traditions
The ones we love are always with us
Alive in our hearts and memory
And though gone now eighteen years
My mother remains alive in me
In my writing, in my smile and my heart
I celebrate the time I had with her
So embrace the sad, but welcome some joy
Helps others, and in so doing, help yourself
Start a new tradition; find the Spirit that lives within
Your smile is a contagious gift
