Merry Christmas To My Love
Today I began thinking Of putting up our Christmas tree When a dozen other Christmases Flooded through my memory. 
Like our very first together On that snowy Christmas Eve... Lighting candles down in Old Town... A tradition I smiled to receive.
Candles shaped into a Cross Seemed to warm the freezing night... Sending signals to the crowd That Jesus is The Light.
Singing joyous Christmas carols Under Albuquerque skies With laughter on our lips... Love shining through our eyes.
I felt so warm and cherished As your arm circled my waist. I remember how the gathered crowd Cheered when we embraced.
A man with hair white as the snow, Who towered over me, Was not ashamed of how he felt And let the whole world see.
It was the season to rejoice... To celebrate our Savior's birth... And, as we did, we must have been The happiest pair on earth.
Now I'm alone and wondering About this Christmas tree. Should I leave it in the closet Since you're not here with me?
No, I think I will assemble it... It's a symbol of our lives... Let it shine as a reminder That love always survives.
You'll be celebrating Christmas In the Presence of the One Whose the reason for the season... Wish I could share the fun.
I know you're thinking of me... I'm blowing kisses up above. Merry Christmas my sweet darling... Merry Christmas to my love. Lovingly, Doris Jacobs-Covington December 10, 2009 Vote for this poem
