This Christmas Without You

Poetry By: EarthMother

As everyone gets excited about Christmas it just reminds me that I face a sad and lonely time this year, having to spend my first Christmas without my husband Mick, who died suddenly on 1st July at only 55.

This Christmas Without You
 
The nights are getting longer
The sun is barely here
The weather is cold and frosty
So Christmas must be near
 
Twinkling lights will start appearing
Holly and Tinsel here and there
Santa Wish Lists will be written
By excited children everywhere
 
But for me there will be no Turkey
Decorations will stay packed away
No Mistletoe to be kissed under
For me this Christmas Day
 
No Christmas Morning smiles
As we wake to greet the morn'
No special gifts for each other
With fancy wrappings to be torn
 
My day will be filled with memories
With sadness and with tears
With remembering Happy Christmas's
Spent together in previous years
 
This year will be the first Christmas
I have to spend alone without you
So it will not be Happy and Jolly
Just very empty, sad and blue.
 
But deep down I know you'll be with me
I will feel your presence when I am blue
I will smile when I remember some silly times
And the twinkling eyes that were uniquely you.
 
So I am not looking forward to this Christmas
I know I will be feeling oh so blue
But I know it is something I have to live through
This very first Christmas without you!
