Christmas Poems - Holidays Without You

Even though things are different I pray they stay the same.

Because the hours, the nights, the days; they just came.

I want the cold, the snow, the ice on the ground.

Time doesn't stop just because you're not around.

Shimmering lights, merry wreaths, and decorations on the tree.

But I hope, and I dream that you're thinking of me.

Candles that flicker, burn, and melt away.

Just like the words in my head that I need to say.

Familiar feelings, alone, and without you.

Even though it's old; it's still fresh, and it's new.

Light the logs, in the fire place, but don't let them go out.

I need to hold on to something bright to curve my doubt.

I want the gifts, and the presents underneath the tree.

Even if not a one of them is addressed to me.

Leave them wrapped, even after New Years they stay.

So there's always surprises, and a chance for a new day.
