Array ( [sid] => 19221 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Bittersweet Christmas [time] => 2003-06-18 09:40:47 [hometext] => I lost a young son in 1994 and now have another son aged 4. This poem reflects on my thinking at Christmas time when I feel torn between the loss and the new life. [bodytext] => Christmas time is now bittersweet
Happier times I used to meet
I have two sons that I love so dear
One is there and one is here
The thing that I mean to say
Is that I now buy one of them gifts, and the
other only gets flowers today.

Christmas time is now bittersweet
Happier times I used to meet
I have two sons that I love so dear
One is there and one is here
The thing that I mean to say

Your poem is classic
----------------------------
No one want to learn to cope
in an event that has no hope
We hope time heals a scar so deep
It will take a lifetime not to weep.

the saddest part of any holiday is those that are no longer there, but as long as they are in your heart they are always with you

I can relate to your bittersweet pain. I lost one
son on dec.2,and gave birth 13 yrs later to a
son on Dec.27! So Christmas' are sweet...
yet bittersweet.
Always remember the one you miss...
and keep in your heart...for him a kiss.
Angel always...godspeed....joni

Such sadness at such a time.

Are there many Christians in your country?

Or does everybody celebrate christmas regardless of differing religions?
