CHRISTMAS without her

It’s Christmas time all around.
Snow lightly kisses the ground,
while people share a smile with everyone they know.
The streets look festive
as the lights start to go up.
Spirits are filled with joy
as families come together.
Carolers sing Little Drummer Boy,
no matter how cold the weather.
Couples cuddle,
while kids lie awake in anticipation.
This Christmas may be filled with fun
with food, presents, and cheer.
But, I am missing one
because they are not here
You would have been twenty-two
but instead I will be alone,
Thinking about the happy tears.
