At Christmas time
it’s sad to be away
from so many of the people that I love.
No matter where I am,
I will be far from those
whom I hold closely in my heart,
And yet behind the wishful, wistful, thoughts
I know that I am happy,
for I am very lucky to have found
love in my life so many times.
I’ve always been a dreamer
and a wanderer,
lost inside the spinning wheels
of my own mind.
And often fate has touched my life,
unwanted and unbidden,
and my heart was broken
by the love I left behind.
But love is never truly lost,
for it is a greater force than space or time;
I never once forgot
the gift of family and friends
and those who joined their hearts to mine.
Thank you, everyone who shared
their precious time with me;
words cannot express the gift you gave
and how much your presence in my life
has meant to me.
I wish that I could be with all of you
this Christmas time,
but knowing I am loved is gift enough;
I need no presents underneath the tree.
You really make it seem really easy with your presentation however I find this topic to be really something that I feel I might never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I am looking ahead in your subsequent submit, I will try to get the grasp of it!
You can certainly see your expertise in the paintings you write. The world hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to say how they believe. Always go after your heart.
