Christmas Poeme

Par Stéphanie Berthiaume le 14-12-2005


This year

This year I want no tinsel ,
no Christmas tree with lights.
I want no cups of eggnog
no singing Silent Night.
No hassled holiday shopping
no presents with pretty bows.
I want no Christmas carols
or Santa's Ho Ho Ho's.
No snowy horse drawn sleigh rides
or busy city streets.
No wishful window shopping
or chocolate candy treats
I don't want Christmas cookies,
no candy canes or cake.
Not even being good
just for goodness sake.
No brightly colored paper
no bargains, deals or sales.
I don't want roasted chestnuts
or that grinch that steals.
I want no Christmas plays
with stories that they tell.
No TV commercials
and all the junk they sell.
I don't want reindeer prancing
or a jingling Christmas bell.
I need no Christmas cards
that wishes all is well.
This year I wish for peace
for those that I hold dear,
in the spirit of the season
and throughout the year.
The warmth of friends and family,
fond memories for all to share.
Love, joy and laughter
That's what I want this year.
This year I wish for you,
that with me you could be.
My dear sweet child of mine
that's what I want for me.
I WILL BE THERESharon J. Bryant


Mom, tomorrow I will be there
Though you may not see
I'll smile and remember
The last Christmas, with you and me


Don't be sad mom
I'm never far away
Your heart has hidden sight
My memory will always stay


I watched as you touched the ornaments
Sometimes a tear was shed as you did
I touched you gently on your shoulder
And on tiptoes I proudly stood


I'm only gone for a little while mom
I'm waiting for the day to be
When God calls out your name mom
We'll be together, just you wait and see


But until that time comes
Carry on as you did when I was there
I tell the angels how much I love you
There are angels here everywhere!


I stand behind you some days
When I know that you are sad
I want you to be happy mom
It would make my heart so glad


So on this Christmas Eve, Mom
Think of me as I will be thinking of you
And touch that special ornament
That I once made for you


I love you mom and dad, also
I know you know I do
And I'll be waiting here for you
When your earthly life is through


Love,
Your child in Heaven
