Christmas Tree 2008 (by Greg)

A table-top tree

Covered with baubles and lights

Makes one remember...

*

Trees from years gone by,

Decorated carefully.

Mother's gift of hope.

*

Now I decorate,

Always remembering her;

How she loved Christmas.

Christmas Pins on a Tray, 2008 (by Greg)

A tray full of pins --

A loud display of color

To make us feel bright.

*

Harder now to feel

That everything is bright -- right.

There should be more here.

Christmas Candles, 2008 (by Greg)

Christmas candles glow,

Lighting flames of nostalgia

In hearts that are sad.

*

We long for the past

When families were complete,

Traditions intact.
