I wanted to write a poem for Christmas because it's so near. I'm not really into the spirit this year, so I thought I would recall the past.

shining in suits of armor 

fighting for my hand. 

To wake 

when breakfast wasn't ready? 

Such a big no-no. 

~ 

Christmas is a time of love 

and joyfulness. 

Yet, this year, 

I feel is sorrow 

and despair. 

I don't know what it is. 

Can't put my finger on it. 

Why do I feel this way? 

What is wrong with me? 

Is it because my love 

will be so far away? 

Maybe because it could 

be the last with the kids at home? 

Is it because there's 

so much strive? 

~ 

I don't know. 

I loathe this. 

I choose to be 

brimming with laughter, 

shining with delight, 

making memories with my children, 

feeling warm, loving arms around me, 

being blissfully happy, 

all of this to be experienced 

with the people I love. 

I want another 

Christmas from the past.
