A Bittersweet Month My only grandchild, Auna, Died of SIDS on Christmas Eve, And it was just a few months later That her mother had to leave. Bobbi's birthday's on the 28th, So close to Christmas Day, And Christmas is so bittersweet With both of them away. While other folks are shopping And their hearts are full of glee, I have to try with all my strength To cherish memories. I try to think of joyful times When both of them were here, When Christmas time was coming And we were filled with cheer; When sweetness still filled all our days, The future still looked bright, Not knowing then that all our joy Would die one cold, dark night. And so you see why I can't send Merry wishes for Christmas Day; I've tried to think of others, But those words I just can't say. So I will wish for you, instead, Warm winter memories bright; Hold them fast within your heart Where they can bring you light.
