'Happy Holidays' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

'Happy Holidays'

Rating: 5.0


I've drifted amidst,
Broken promises once wished.
From parents and friends.
Even past lovers gone...
With exaggerated dreams,
That linger on!

And I often think,
I am the one to blame.
For displeasures showing a selfishness...
I displayed without gain.

Sitting alone,
At home
And reminiscing prepared Christmas lists.
Today I miss them dearly.
Realizing now...
Those promises weren't broken at all.
They did come my way.

Those wishes given,
As God's gifts.
Some I enjoyed!
While others I simply craved.
Leaving me with that everlasting flavor tasted...
I wished had never gone away!

Within my mind I can still hear them say...
We are always with you near!
Cheer up...
'Happy Holidays'
