A silent night 🎄

There will be no children this Christmas eve

One by one my girls grew up into adulthood and they all had to leave

Mind you my three daughters didn’t move too far away

And each drive a car so they visit us 
almost everyday

But as I reminisce this familiar festive Xmas eve night

My house will have an eerie silence and that could never feel right

Gone is that Santa Claus excitement in the air

Oh how I miss my little ones running around everywhere

But two of them now have daughters of their own

There is no doubt in my mind their homes will be as lively as those bygone ones that I had known

So just like those changeable cycles of our seasons

My husband and I are just the two of us nowadays for those obvious reasons

And alas we have almost reached that dreaded twighlight of our married life

My wedded bliss has sped by all too speedily as a Mother and a wife

Never-the-less we will still have a very merry Christmas and be blessed with our delight

On this slightly strange Christmas eve amidst a silent night
