T’was the night before Christmas
darkness stole thru the light
the people were all sleeping
when there came a fearsome fright
destructive hands of power
fists of seething might
when it was over
hearts could not endure their plight
Over at Pen of the Damned two poems are posted to remember those suffering from the loss of a loved one. They are also in tribute to the children and their families of the Sandy Hook tragedy.

We should all take a moment to think of the less fortunate during the holidays. Loss and suffering is hard anytime, but especially so at Christmas.
Good poem.

Must agree with Tim…reflecting on those less fortunate during the holidays may help to set the perspective for the new year.
I have been trying to put words to my feelings about the tragic loss at Newtown, without success… that you were able to is a small comfort, thank you for sharing.
