My Prayer: A Christmas Poem

mensab
Children's laughter in the air

Songs of hope in vespers

Everything so familiar

Except for one,

Where are you, my love?

Shopping in frenzy for discounts

Gifts wrapped for loved ones

Names so familiar

Except for one,

Where are you, my love?

Years passed without you

By my side you used to

But now it's been familiar

Except for one,

I find you in the absence of your love.
