Christmas Grace

[denise ippolito]

I remember when our family
Was much larger than today
We'd gather at the table
For a feast on Christmas Day
And even though our loved ones
Are not sitting in these chairs
They're in our hearts and memories
And always in our prayers


I have started working on a foil technique for images and have decided to work on a Christmas card- so any feedback would be appreciated.
I wrote this poem for the first Christmas without our Mom, so I thought it would be nice to give it as a Christmas card to my family.
