Merry Christmas 🌻❤️
Christmas Behind Walls
In the quiet of December's embrace,
Underneath the festive lights' soft trace,
I sit by the fire where shadows play,
Feeling both near and far away.
The tree stands adorned, in baubles and gold,
But inside my heart, the night feels cold.
Your laughter, a memory that warms my soul,
Brings a bittersweet joy that takes its toll.
I pen down my thoughts, with each tender line,
Sending whispers of love through the confines of time.
Though walls may divide, our spirits entwine,
In each written word, our hearts combine.
The children laugh, their joy pure and clear,
Yet, their eyes search for you, wishing you were here.
I brave a smile, hold back a tear,
Comforting them with holiday cheer.
As snowflakes fall, so gentle and slow,
Each one a kiss I send through the window.
Dreaming of a Christmas, not just in my mind,
Where we're together, no bars defined.
Our love, a beacon that endlessly burns,
Across the miles, my heart yearns.
For in this season of peace and goodwill,
It's your presence, love, that is my thrill.
Though the night is silent, and you're not in sight,
I feel you here, in the soft candlelight.
Until the day our hands can touch,
Know I love you, ever so much.🌻❤️😊 #poetry #prisonwifepoetry #blackgirllemon8 #prison
As the holiday season approaches, many find themselves reflecting on cherished memories and loved ones, particularly in the poignant moments of separation. Christmas is a time that evokes deep emotions, blending joy with nostalgia. This year, craft unique traditions to honor those far away, like creating personalized ornaments or setting a place at the table for them. Embrace the spirit of giving by volunteering or donating in their name, bringing healing and warmth to others. Surround yourself with family and friends, sharing laughter and love, as you remember and celebrate the presence of those who cannot be with you. Make time for quiet reflection, savoring the beauty of the season while creating new memories. Whether through acts of kindness or simple, heartfelt gestures, we can keep the spirit of our loved ones alive during the festive season. In embracing these practices, we not only acknowledge our feelings but also find ways to connect with the essence of Christmas, fostering a sense of togetherness despite physical distances.
