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!
