Skies are blue
Leaves fallen trees
Stand shivering against
Late December winds
Flat country except
For a small
Rise that touches
Horizon with ashen
Green trees white
Sun strips birch
Bare peeling like
Last summer’s sunburn
This day the
Day after Christmas
The one thing
That I’m not
Is patient and
Yet you keep
Pressing right there
It’s painful yes
But who but
You could press
There and not
Hurt me I
Hate you for
This and yet
Understand that sometimes
Those that love
Us most know
Right where and
When to push
My life is
Not about me
It is however
About others and
Their happiness and
It is right
There and right
Then that I
Find my own
Be happy please
So that I
May be also
You can’t understand
Don’t expect to
Just know this
Sometimes in life
Life gives you
The one thing
You don’t need
And challenges you
Make it yours
That’s my Christmas
Wish to you
We’d promised to
Be together on
Christmas Eve which
You then broke
I said cold
Icy hurtful things
Because I was
Alone and heartbroken
Turning away I
Let you go
But then like
The miracle of
Love that Christmas
Is you kept
Your promise by
Writing me we
Are great friends
To each other
You said and
Won’t end this
Way in silence
You see that
A star appeared
Just as legend
Said that hope
Does exist here
Between us reminding
Me that that
Is the true
Meaning of Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone
