The Anniversary
Christmas, a day of cheer.
But my only wish,
Is to spend it with my dear.
December twenty-fifth,
The “happiest time of year.”
It’s been a while,
Sorry, I had to drive a few miles.
I brought you a gift,
Candy canes, I know they’re your favorite.
Decorations, you seemed a little dim,
Had to make you stand out in a place so grim.
A wreath and some tinsel,
Oh, how I miss my angel.
My love, can you hear me?
I’m still here to visit as promised.
I’m sorry, I’m getting teary.
I know, I’m not being honest.
I’ve been avoiding you.
The sight of your granite slab,
It just makes me so blue.
I just wish I didn’t have to bury you,
During the “happiest time of year.”

My name is Catherine, and my teacher told me to publish this. It's about losing someone during a happy time, and having to deal with your grief and also seeing everyone celebrate. Now having to associate this cheerful time with sadness.
