This brought tears to my eyes near the end, it's sad yet touching.

Sometimes we get so caught up in life that we forget little things. Like the things that make life special, sitting with family during Christmas time and just enjoying it for what it is. This poem made me think of all the things I should be appreciating.

Dagmar, you have written a very beautiful poem.

No place like home.

I am glad to see you write about forgiveness and about joy Dagmar.

Maybe it's also time to forgive yourself cause you're a great person.

Keep it up

I love this poem

This is a nice piece very mellow

Well inked my friend

I like this piece so much Dagmar.

It create a good imagery. It's concise and to the point. Forgiveness takes a long time but it always eases ones heart.

I'm glad for you.

This touched me deeply, Dagmar. I love how you show the readers about your definition of home with simple yet beautiful imagery - the smell of pines, bells ringing etc. That part about visiting your mother's grave saddened me, yet it shows your love for her.
Thank you for sharing this.

Dag this was very touching, it is sad to think of anyone being alone on Christmas or not being in their place of home, where they should be.

The part about forgiveness is very moving because that takes a lot of courage, it makes me wonder about what you are forgiving her for, although I think i have an idea in mind, and if I am correct, this is not easy to do and is part of the healing process.

Keep writing! As always. x
