Christmas Lights
By Joeysguy

My son lives in Florida with his spouse
I was visiting them at their house

On my last day in the warm sunlight
He was outside hanging a Christmas light

I walked outside and my eyes started to tear
Because my wife is no longer here

I always disliked hanging Christmas lights
Early comes the winter days and nights

My wife would always give me directions
On how to hang the decorations

I now miss hearing my wife say
No don’t do it that way

I didn’t always take her advice
To hear her now would really be nice
