25 Day Christmas Challenge – Family

Snow outside, the cold gives me a chill

No family here, but I wish them no ill

Everyone’s locked in their own homes

Looking out windows at snow covered gnomes

A blanket, a movie, or a book’s all we need

We hardly miss the holiday speed

A snap, a text, a video call

Keeping separate-together is all

This family can wait till times are better

And all the illness and sadness no longer fetters.
