This year my son decorated the tree
That made it so much easier on me
Christmas didn’t hurt this year
It was a good thing not to shed a tear
All the ornaments and decorations
Are too much in combination
With missing those who have departed
All those memories get restarted
Times were happy, times were good
Growing up it was understood
Christmas was special and magic
It was never meant to feel so tragic
I am lucky and I am blessed
To be surrounded by those who love me best
I have created a family of my own
How the years have quickly flown
I understand the past surrounds us
It makes us who we are today
It should never overwhelm us
And take away from a new holiday
My greatest joy is to have known two families
With whom to make many happy memories
Heron There & Everywhere 
this is so beautiful, really you are so beautiful!
