Christmas shopping has begun,
but now I shop for three,
another sad reminder of
the way things used to be.

A new year for an altered life––
I guess it does seem fitting.
2018 hit us hard,
its sorrows unremitting.

Your room still holds the scent of you;
sometimes, I venture in.
One step across the threshold, and
the memories begin.

I know that you are busy now
with things to learn and do and see;
but when you find some extra time,
might you draw close and bide with me?

I took you in my arms the day you came into this world.
Around your head, it almost seemed that bits of heaven swirled.
I nurtured you and cared for you and read you “Goodnight, Moon.”
But then your life came calling. You slipped away too soon.
