It is Christmas time again,
The time when family and friends congregate
But on the table is kept an empty plate
A space that is kept bare
For a mother or father that is no longer there
Ribbons, bows, and other pretty things
Can never replace the joy that a person brings
Although they maybe gone do not despair
For they are forever with you if you keep them in your heart
And in your morning prayer
A beautiful post with a lovely message Asha
