A very lovely poem, David. I wish you had included a poet's note to tell us if indeed this really happened. Enjoyed reading it very much, and congratulations on having it selected as poem of the day.

You know life is short! Death is lurking everywhere.Mindful that parents pine for their children we have to pay them visit at least on Christmas, an occasion for a get together! A message conveying interesting poem!

David, i am sad, and at the same time happy for the mother because even in the death of her son, he still fulfil his promise to be with them if only for a short time. sometimes, we celebrate christmas so we can be united with our families, not remembering that Jesus was the main reason for the celebration. And i was given the strong message that inspite of what happen to our family, i will still celebrate Christmas, because it is the birthday of our Savoiur.This is a very wonderful piece of yours David..and you did justice in portraying a love of a mother, and a love of a son to a mother..The mother's love that cannot be measured, unfathomable, deep and timeless..Thank you David for the honor of reading this. your special friend, Meggie
