Christmas Mourning

Tears flow freely ~

At inopportune times ~

The sadness of the season can suck the wind right out of me ~

I huddle under the eaves of a storefront ~ and cry ~

Memories of Mama ~

Sweet Mama who loved Christmas so ~

He gently reminds me that this must be the reason for my tears today ~

"It's probably just the season," he whispers softly, my younger brother who kept vigil with me by her bedside so many Christmases ago.

The Season of Sadness ~

Of Christmas Mourning ~
