Post early for Christmas, the slogans advise,
to make sure your gifts will arrive.
I'm not sure of the postage way up in the skies,
for the one gift I want to survive
This parcel is filled with the tenderest care
and is sealed with a most gentle kiss.
It's winging it's way to my loved one up there
and the message attached will say this
‘I miss you so much and at this time of year
When festivities are so profound
I know you'll be smiling, I wish you were here
and I wasn't so sadly earthbound.
But memories are treasures that live ever more
And remind us of all that we share
The laughter and tears that went all before
remembering when you were there
So although you are gone, I want you to know
that I carry you deep in my heart.
Merry Christmas, I love you, and still miss you so,
you're inside me, we're never apart.'
Memories are life's truest treasures more valuable than gold. To keep that memory alive of someone no longer here, keeps part of them alive, the part that comforts us, the part that counts. A heartfelt poem tinged with a little sadness, one to uplift with its from the heart message, for we never forget the ones we so dearly miss. They live on. Five stars Lodigiana and a great pic that says it all to add to your touching poem. Remain poetry blessed, Thank you and I wish you well. Shaun.x.
