Season's Sadness
With Christmas and the New
Year come
my thoughts of those I love
and miss:
those treasured relatives and
friends -
oh, how I long for one more
kiss -
but Death has taken them
away,
and sent them to eternal
bliss;
but you, my love, are living
still,
condemning me to reminisce
about the joy, I knew with
you;
without your love my life's
amiss...
