Edelweiss, I think it's a beautiful idea. I would have little things to add too. But what do you think about starting it in a fresh new thread of its own? Let it be an ongoing thing, like this one has been for poetry. I think the idea deserves its own special place. Start the thread and I'll add something.

I'd be glad to join in that new thread. I have so many special
memories of loved ones. Two of my friends who died were
aged, three were not, but recollections of each one, bring a smile to my face for different reasons.

God'n The Soldier

This time of year I'm thinking about,
Jesus leaving His Father, so bravely devout.

And I'm picturing young soldiers, far, far away,
Remembering faces of loved ones each Holiday.

The depth of heart a soldier must possess,
'Tis a difficult thing for the mind to process.

Placing one's life at risk and in danger,
Not just for family but even a stranger.

God's only Son became a man,
To give eternal life and that's hard to understand.

But our sons and daughters, they go away,
And fight the good fight, so our freedom will stay.

The Christmas holiday is near,
it should bring with it much cheer.

Instead this year it brings sorrow and fear,
some of our friends may no longer be here.

I pray each night and will call on the morrow,
laugh and try to entertain so they don't hear my sorrow.

When quizzed by a loved one what I want for a gift,
I say I hope the end will come painless, and swift.

Losing loving friends is bad,
makes one feel so helpless and sad.

When near a holiday we lose a treasure,
Christmas time will remind us forever and ever...

Chatty this is so true, and made me really tear up.
