Christmas Eve - Haiku Poem

JUNEANN REED
It's late Christmas eve
My big blue eyes are now closed
What will day light bring.

I prayed he could come
From Afghanistan to me
On Christmas morning.

Mom's playing carols
I can feel her tear drops fall
Softly, quietly.

Tree lights still shining
Our moon smiles upon us all
I hear the snow crunch.

Church was so lovely
Decorations - stars and all
Silent Night - for him.

Dad did you hear me
I'm hoping you saw our moon
And sang Silent Night.

My pillow holds tears
I have been keeping inside
Now sleep steals my thoughts.

Angels sing all night
Sle ep in hea ven ly peace
Mom cuddles near me.
