Gratitude

I think of all the people who held me when I was a baby

My tear tainted eyes sadly realize

that I have not called any of them lately

Nor sent that card saying how you are or simply stating the belated

I think of all the times my emotions rised

fists clenched in frustration hateful eyes

said mean things didn't realize spewed rude and spouted hatred

Reminds me of a time when everything was fine

We laughed we dined cheers we chimed was my fine family and I

Reminisced of that and this, giggled, snickered sometimes cried a bit

I remember the feeling of a rainy November

a fire crackling soothing embers a glass of wine happy smiles

cherished these moments for this short sweet while

My memories of love life and family

Fade away into the gray as the sun is setting so sadly

Love befriends people change

something somehow ends it's changed

No longer are we the same

Seems a mean game and such a shame

These days we play they all add up then slowly go away

As I sit and remember my last great December

My platitude of attitude brings me closer to the heavenly ends of never

Memories of bliss, cinnamon and mint merrily I miss all of this

My life to be my greatest gift

A final Christmas then on with it

of this great gift there is no more can I wish

Gratitude
