From her heart do they spring
As the Christmas season approaches
And she misses everything...
Her dear little grandchildren
So far away from home
Be it a million miles away
Or just up the dusty road...
Her arms; achingly empty
Though her heart is so very full
Having so much love yet to give
But today her eyes are almost full...
She misses their happy laughter
Is missing so many milestones
Their little arms around her neck
Feeling this lack within her bones...
There is no festive celebration
Here within these quiet walls
For without their precious laughter
Why bother to deck the halls...
Only memories do linger
Of times of Christmas past
Her thoughts again turn inward
Tears, pricking her eyelids; flowing fast...
For Violeta Orlandini, Martha Wilson, grandma Roza Szekeres, grandma Margit Juliana Szabo, Lyn Scott, and many others...
