(This poem is in remembrance of my beloved Father, who passed away in January this year after struggling for years with cancer, leaving behind a void that we are trying to fill with the beautiful memories he left behind.)
December heralds a chill in the air,
Yet the warmth of memories lingers here
Christmas carols play, a bittersweet sound,
As echoes of merry laughter abound.
Those calloused hands, eyes crinkled but kind,
Choosing each gift with a thoughtful mind.
hobbling through the market, a smile in your heart
The joy of Christmas gifts , Children’s mirth
Bells adorning the tree,of silver and gold.
The festivity heavy with feelings untold
Amidst the twinkling lights, a vacant chair,
Poignant reminder of love and care
This year, the silence feels heavy and vast,
Though you are gone, the remembrance will last.
Your visage –Â sage, kindly and upright
Now, a cherished memory, soft and bright.
His absence looming, to fate we bow,
The tree is adorned , Silver Bells glow,
A Blue Christmas , a bittersweet refrain,
Enduring memories bringing joy with pain.
