What if we can't be there on Christmas day?

Me without you
is like a leafless fall,
a snowless winter,
and a flowerless spring.

Sparks of light out in the distance
Reminding me of the space between us
I can relate to this. I think about if I could have done things differently. I feel like if I were there when my John fell and died I could have prevented him from that tragic fall. I am mad...

Delightful display
Snowdrops bow their pure white heads

Time is like the wind,
Slow and smooth.
Time can change swiftly,
Fast and fierce.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
A wonderful poem by Langston Hughes, some dreams drift off with the morning mist, others come through if one persists.....
A dream differed is a dream put on hold
until the time comes for...
