Vigilia di Natale / Christmas Eve

You brought the Sun last Year, but

Without You the Sky is sad now, and

Grey Clouds pour Tears from Heaven

The Sun shines elsewhere this Year

Where We both come from, but You

Will never come back there nor here

Still I feel Your presence and I know

You want Us all to be Happy on this

Christmas Eve

Thus, here is my Special Gift for You:

Wrapped in Shiny Smiles and Songs

There is my Joy

To the Unique and Irreplaceable One

Joy to this Knockabout World

Poem above and pictures and post below by me, as always.

(C) Italy is Mine and It owes Me a Living

We miss our Beloved Ones every day of every year; their loss hits harder during the Holidays, but we hold them tight in our hearts and minds and, somehow, They are still with us.

Someone else feels the same on this Christmas Eve: Morrissey remembers David Johansen, who has died in 2025, on the last day of the second -and the shorter - month of the year.

May this Christmas Night give peace, serenity, hope and joy to all the people who mourn someone who meant and still means the World to them.
