POEM // PRACTICE

Every year we do some things
To remember you. 
Your life. 
Your love.
Your motherly hugs.

We buy a tree. A real one. 
And we keep it alive.
Or it keeps us alive.

We put lights on the house.
We sing and dance and talk about you. 

How you’d write poems that led me to my gifts.
What you liked to eat.
Which song from the Mariah Carey album you’d put on repeat.
We put presents under the tree
And wish you a Merry Christmas.
You are present with us.
Your life.
Your love.
Your motherly hugs.

The holidays can be hard for families missing loved ones. 

Take some time and come up with ways you can remember those you’ve lost during the holiday season.
