'Missing You Even More' Poem by Linda Winchell

'Missing You Even More'



With the holidays fast approaching
I’m missing you even more.
Cooped up in this house… all day long
Is somewhat… now becoming a real bore.

While flipping through…some old family photos
Of past times…to me… seems now so very long ago.
Where did all that time go to?
Where did all of it… and our families go?

I know we all went our separate paths
Had children…moved…work…and such.
But how did it all… come down to this?
Where we got so…horrilby out of touch.

Was it my failure to communicate?
That kept me from… checking in to see.
Just what the other was doing… with their lives
And how was the growth… of their family tree.

I think I’d read it somewhere…who knows?
That the downfall of mankind… would eventually come from within.
The family unit would break apart
Mostly due… to family pride…lifestyles and sin.

It seems as though the writer was right
I now see it happening in families… every day.
I hoped it wouldn’t ever happen to ours
But I see it’s happened anyway.

I’ll try to fix…what I have broken
And communicate more with all of you.
And if it comes in the form of poetries rhyme
Then that’s… what I’ll have to do.

I hope to hear back someday soon
So the rest of what life… God gives to me.
Will not be my life’s regrets unspoken
In an un-watered and un- nurtured Family Tree.
