This reminds me of a Tennyson poem: ...Love ya Sara! This reminds me of a Tennyson poem: <br /><br /><br />With trembling fingers did we weave<br /> The holly round the Christmas hearth; <br /> A rainy cloud possess’d the earth, <br />And sadly fell our Christmas-eve.<br /><br />At our old pastimes in the hall<br /> We gambol’d, making vain pretence <br /> Of gladness, with an awful sense <br />Of one mute Shadow watching all.<br /><br />We paused: the winds were in the beech:<br /> We heard them sweep the winter land; <br /> And in a circle hand-in-hand <br />Sat silent, looking each at each.<br /><br />Then echo-like our voices rang;<br /> We sung, tho’ every eye was dim, <br /> A merry song we sang with him <br />Last year: impetuously we sang:<br /><br />We ceased: a gentler feeling crept<br /> Upon us: surely rest is meet: <br /> ‘They rest,’ we said, ‘their sleep is sweet,’ <br />And silence follow’d, and we wept.<br /><br />Our voices took a higher range;<br /> Once more we sang: ‘They do not die <br /> Nor lose their mortal sympathy, <br />Nor change to us, although they change;<br /><br />‘Rapt from the fickle and the frail<br /> With gather’d power, yet the same, <br /> Pierces the keen seraphic flame <br />From orb to orb, from veil to veil.’<br /><br />Rise, happy morn, rise, holy morn,<br /> Draw forth the cheerful day from night: <br /> O Father, touch the east, and light <br />The light that shone when Hope was born.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653719260745433115.post-76886495080673654372009-11-10T11:16:49.456-07:002009-11-10T11:16:49.456-07:00I think you will honor your mother-in-law by remem...I think you will honor your mother-in-law by remembering her and remembering she would want you to enjoy Christmas.

I honestly don't know how people survive difficulties and tragedies without having faith in the Lord and a knowledge of the Plan.Karen M.
