I'm finding myself on a Christmas high <br />Lot's of loving family and I know that's why <br />People all around me, so full of cheer <br />Wanting to see me, is why they are here <br />Family all close in one house of love <br />And mother with me, from heaven above <br />Oh please don't let this great high leave <br />It will be back to my old self, where I will grieve <br />In that deep black hole I must not fall <br />Coming out will be such a slow crawl <br />I will fight hard to not let it in <br />I don't want to travel back to where I’ve been <br />Past is past, must keep it buried <br />For so many years, this pain I’ve carried <br />Going to make a New Years resolution this very year <br />Going to hold back old feelings, try to keep my mind clear!<br /><br />Donna Nimmo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-high/
