Another Christmas Away From Home

Another Christmas Away From Home

I can't believe I'm missing the sounds of the birds singing on christmas mornings

The tunes that naturally fills the air, giggles, laughters, fun and boy is there always a show

but I won't be there to see and feel the love and watch our christmas light glow.

I can't believe I'm missing the smell and taste of a good home made family christmas pie

The bonding that naturally brings healing and forgiveness and warms our hearts will hope

But I will miss on this again, feels it a sad slippery slope

I'm glad there have been many christmases we have spent together and hope to spend will a family of my own.

So many lovely memories of singing Carols and acting on shows, enjoying the  good tidings of christmas and the hope of a good new year,all being merry.

But I guess I have to dwell with the memories for it's another christmas away from home.

Hi cleo. A sad write but I understand you completely.  My dad was in the army and we didnt always make it home to my grandparents for Christmas every year.  It is sad when you cannot see them around this time but at least you know God will be with you any time day or night . Well done all stars. Hrl

Thanks a lot HRL. It's sad when we can't share time with family especially on special times of the year. Thanks for the support. Cheers.

Hello Cleo, iam sorry you will not be with family for the holidays. I worked Christmas two years in a row and I finally said Ill never work Christmas again because I realized being with family is more important than making money, and that I can never get back those times I miss. I know you have to do what you have to do I just hope you have someone to spend Christmas with. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Cleo.
