Christmas Eve Thoughts

by

Dennis Hicks



Tonight I'll spend Christmas eve

watching as presents get placed under the tree,

and maybe I'll take Hank to church

and try to find comfort there for me.



I'm sure my thoughts will be of you

and the sadness will be hidden but my face will refuse to shine, while the thoughts will be there, only the heart aware,by the thoughts that crowd my mind





I'll ponder what might have been

had this evening gone as planned

Of watching you, Hank and Josh,

while listening to a Christmas band



eyes sparkleing,smiles aplenty,my mind and heart at ease

the visions will dance in my mind of feeling loved,blessed,full of hope, and basically , happy



Then something will shake me from those thoughts

and I'll realize this was not to be

and I'll make do, as I'm sure you will too, with the present reality



The reality that we are through

will come upon me with a vengent force, a tear will fall, and through it all,

I'll pray that fate run it's due course



My heart will know these feelings are true, for you cannot lie to yourself you see,

And like a gentle wind that brushs your cheek, I wonder if your thoughts will some small way be of me.



Merry Christmas Cheri and Josh

may God's grace shine on you,

and give you everything you want out of life, Love and Happiness too
