"Another Holiday Without Mom"

The holidays are coming 
The second year without you,
I try to be cheerful
But instead I feel blue.

Your presence is missed
Who'll make the apple pies?
No one can make them like you
I always did apprize.

Together we Christmas shopped
For the family,
Addressed Christmas cards
And, acted so silly.
 

All of these 
Are very good memories,
I just wish that these blues
Would dissipate or decrease.

I know you are watching me
In heavens above,
And now and always Mama
II'll feel your love!
