Flashy signs, new mugs and ties
‘Perfect Gift’ in bold
Eyes wide
Throat tight
Heart sunk
A time that’s meant to celebrate
Drips freshly painted black
Left behind, a broken hint of
Loss forever present
Tear stains mark a favorite shirt,
Brought on by fleeting scent
A song, a sight, a word, a thought,
A trigger firmly pressed
The desperate untold search has taught
What’s missing can’t return
Now left with words, imploring those
Who hold what’s envied most
Enjoy the shopping, wrapping, planning
Don’t take any time for granted
Make the call
Sign the card
Give the hug
Take the drive
The moments on this earth are few
Embrace the love you have

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
