From the Banks of Burcham Creek…
I am posting this today for all
Parents and grandparents who have
Had children and grandchildren to
Pass from this earth life all too soon.
Many are grieving today, and I hope
This post in some small way
May be a blessing to them.

The Children's Christmas…
The children's Christmas is simple and bright
They sing the music, they laugh in the light,
Sparkling colors are a magical spell,
Their instant joy flows bubbling and well.
But round that tree I see a space,
Beside the table an empty place,
A voice is missing, a form of grace,
The sweetness of a little lost face.
A vacuum was left by the child who's gone;
Though all seems right, yet it's terribly wrong.
I'd give up my Christmas, and gaiety fine,
To clasp that small hand again in mine.
- Rosemary J. Gwaltney
In loving memory of our grandson.
