A bittersweet Christmas memory
The house was festooned with Christmas decorations
and packages were all brightly wrapped and tied with bows.
Family were laughing as snow began falling
we marveled at the picture from the warmth inside.

Santa was on his way; happy and excited
children headed to bed in anticipation.
We put finishing touches under the tree
and snuggled deep under covers 'till morning's light.

Yet spirits unspoken gathered close around us.
All our departed family, still they remained
to celebrate with us this snowy festive night;
each connection rejoined – tonight’s circle of love.
