Christmas Present

Ghosts of Christmas’ past 

vie for my attention like a child’s tug o’ war ~ 

soft glow and fond memories of family, food and fun, 

against gray grief 

    and angry angst that seem, 

each of their own accord, 

to want a solid win. 


To date, no concrete decision!


honour bound, each finally bows to the other’s need

the struggle, the tug o’ war, is a draw: 

one cannot survive without the other

The Winner:  Christmas Present


“Christmas gives us the opportunity to pause 

and reflect on the important things around us.”

~ David Cameron
