Holiday Cheer

Carolers' songs and snowfall fill the evening air
Children chatter excitedly
Wondering when will Santa be there
Mama prays quietly for
The gift of holiday cheer
Because her husband's in a war zone
For at least another year
Her nights are cold and lonely
Her days are painfully long
She wonders what will happen
If something should go wrong
Christmas is supposed to be
A time of celebration filled
With all of the good things of life
But it is hard to be so happy
When you're a deployed soldier's wife

I feel for all who have a loved one in a war zone, especially at this time, when so many have their families around them for days

Don you touch on a raw subject...this 'Holiday' for many people is not what the postman ordered is it?  In fact it accentuates others lonliness  I for one will be working this year  keeping busy..nice rhythm to this Don..x

I wish I could, Don, but somehow, Multiply will no longer recognise my sign in,
and because I am already a member, it won't let me rejoin.
 
Can view all sites over but cannot interact, Zy

I liked the write, Don. A very good thing to spare thoughts for others at this time.
 
As to multiply, the plan is now to move to Aimoo at the end of the year. Keep an eye on the Special Announcement thread for further details. I'll also post an information message in the multiply corner later, as Zy cannot access.
