I woke up shedding tears of sadness
Grieving the loss of Christmas magic
It doesn't feel like Christmas mourning
Excitement replaced with 5 more minutes please
There is no twinkle in my eye
Without my parents by my side
Announcing each gift with anticipation
Waiting for the look on all our faces
Knowing it's just what we wanted
All the time we spent with family
Making the best Holiday memories
Driving house to house to spread love
With moms desirable baked goods
Dad giving out 20 free Christmas Trees
To churches & families in need
Everyone visits near and far
Unloading the gift of their presence from their car
Christmas doesn't feel the same
So this morning
I mourned Christmas day
Only to realize all the magic
Was love from my sweet parents
Intentionally creating each moment
To welcome enjoyment
Because they knew it was important
Never complaining about the crowds or long lines
Focusing on quality time
Now I'm the parent..
Feeling guilty I couldn't see it
Christmas magic is now up to me
I was gifted this awareness
Next year will be different
Instead of tears of sadness
I'll embrace the madness
Because look at those smiles on my kids faces
Nothing compares to Christmas magic
