Children running to the fireplace,
Parents gazing fondly with arms linked,
Snow spilling from bright fluffy clouds
Divorce splinters imagined pictures,
Adulthood dulls the colors,
Real cheer comes with effort,
With the joy of finding the perfect gift,
Of finally gathering the family,
Holiday cheer isn’t easy,
But’s it’s worth it.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
