Colors glittering, voices chorusing
A world awash with Christmas cheer
Yet in my reversies, I have memories
For loved ones no longer here
Cherished faces, childish places
Beloved hearts so long missed
I fill with longing, with lost belonging
For loved ones no more kissed
I dream to hold them, I pray I told them
Of what their lives meant to me
This joyous season, is sad with reason
for loved ones no more I see.
