We all knew
it would be tough this year
Even all the yellow roses
candlelight and loveliness
Did not do the trick
It rained and stormed
yesterday for Christmas
A pall
shadowed the yuletide event
in spite of attempts at being jolly
It wasn't the weather
The sun is shining today
But the light is a little dimmer
without you Ruth
without your laughter
without your iced fruitcake
without your generosity
without your kindness
Did you have to be so nice!
oy giving name to the lost...its def hard at the holidays as they memories fill up the empty chairs...felt piece...
