Poetry: Christmas with family

by Joy Sunday

CHRISTMAS

Just once a year
Every year
We remember

The good times,
The bad times,
We remember

The poor
The lonely
We remember

The homeless
The unemployed
We remember

The sick
The dead
We remember

Our children as infants
Our children as toddlers
We remember

Our parents
Our siblings
We remember

Our duties
Our responsibilities
We remember

Our chance to pray
Our chance to repent
We remember

If there was no Christmas,
Just once a year, every year
Would we remember.

Once a year
Every year
Christmas helps us remember.
