We, again, won’t exchange
gifts, messages or things store-bought.
Yet, as in years past, it seems strange
that you’re in every Christmas thought.
It’s been such a long while
since we’ve been together.
Yet you still make me smile,
and I can never say never.
Each year you’re on my list.
Each Christmas time I remember.
With each prayer I offer this wish:
We could finally get together.
This year, as always, it’s still your choice.
This year, as always, I hope you’ll hear my voice.
