This Time Of The Christmas Year Poem by louis rams

This time of the Christmas
Year

I'm looking forward to Christmas as I do every year and I'm missing my loved ones who are no longer here. Their gift is their blessings that I feel every day and that is something that can't be taken away. It is not a gift that is wrapped up in ribbons and bows but something that many of us know.
Ca) l out the names of the ones who are dear as you toast a Christmas cheer.

We celebrate living but we tend to forget our dead yet. They will forgive us after all is done and said.
This time of the Christmas year
