Missing Christmas
Christmas lights flicker
into colors, green and red.
The silence of the season
hangs in what is not said.
It is the knowing you are not here
your smile I miss the most,
The quiet way you made it so
a holiday Christmas toast.
I will miss our first Christmas
with you not around.
I will miss all the other Christmas’
in memory do resound.

Sisters
I tried to cry but the pain was there
I felt the hour of our shared despair
Sisters bleed as time turned gray
Mingled tears from another day
A mother gone so much not said
A wilted memory and sadness shed
A soft word in a written note
A longing shared our grasps remote
Sisters bleed as time turned gray
Mingled tears for another day .

Resurrection
Easter’s Story is in the midst of us now,
the love mystery; everlasting somehow…
The spring resounds of birds at rest,
as they seek food and build their nest.
The sun strives to warm the earth,
as we fade in eternity reincarnation’s birth.
We celebrate the soon-to-come,
when death and life, receives the risen ‘son’.
