Hello world I am here today to write down my feelings of sadness and despair...as you know I lost My mom and best friend earlier this year and my Dad in the spring of last year and now it is the holiday season...Last year was a sad season but Mom the wonderful woman that she was brightened it for me but this year is devastating with them both gone. I cannot seem to find the Christmas spirit anywhere...I try very hard for the kids' sake to keep a smile on my face but once they all go home I am left lost and alone with all of my feelings of sadness making me want to go to bed and cover my head until after the New Year arrives. I could never explain what I am feeling but those of you who have lost a parent or two know it is an overriding sadness that weighs heavy on your heart....

So as I always do I wrote down my feelings in my words of poetry...

The World Is Empty Without You Here...

As Christmas descends around the world...

And loved ones all gather...

Into sadness I am hurled...

Skipping this season I would rather.

The children come and decorations are hung...

Smiles and laughter ring out...

Christmas carols are cheerily sung...

But leave me alone I would rather shout.

The tree goes up and the lights are lit...

The presents are all wrapped...

On my couch I solemnly sit...

Feeling totally trapped.

.

The Christmas singing and the bells chime...

Aren't the same without your voice so clear...

All I can do is cry all the time..

The world is empty without you here.

Poem for Momma

I wrote this Poem to say goodbye to my Mom...When she left this world to join my Dad in heaven I not only lost a Mom but my best friend and as you can see from the words in the poem it made me very upset and lost...I wanted to say goodbye and let her know how much I love her and will miss her...Written with all the love in my heart for you Momma by your baby girl Sissy...

My Momma My Best Friend

A Poem For Momma
 Momma, You kissed my boo boos you dried my tears...You helped me grow through the years.You taught me all I would need to know...The seeds of love for to sow.Now you've gone from this world...Into despair my life is hurled.But you reached out to touch my face...and shine upon me with loving grace.So now I sit and I can see...you have not gone you're here with me.I love you momma is all I can say...I will carry you in my heart every day.
