Embers
A Day to remember
In winter’s dark embers
With the cold at your feet.
A saint in the past
Made sure love would last
So now we give roses and sweets.

Hand Me Downs
I was the one who they called the knee baby.
Not sure why , I am the one in the cap,
I stood as tall as the rest of my siblings.
I always had an impish smile; they said.
Worn out pants handed down by someone.
I never knew we were not rich.
My Grandparents never ‘let on.’

One Tree
One tree this year.
A time to remember.
We miss our loved ones
In this Covid December .
We will not forget
We are still in hope.
While many have lost
and now have to cope.
We light the candles
We cut the cake.
Pray for the lost,
different memories we make.
