My entry to @terrycraft's Steemit Poetry Contest.

Trees And Regrets

Now the sun is no warmer than the moon,
Happiness and tears trapped in balloons,
Gifts and smiles glare and commune,
With a Christmas tree standing in a sitting room.

"Phew! It's Christmas, yet it feels like June,
Regrets for all I couldn't make happen,
For the year is ending, just too soon,
Next year is all I have that’s new."

Shhh... Say that not, Trish.
You've got family, friends and me.
Appreciate ‘what is’ not ‘what could,’ Miss.
Now, that's my Christmas gift.
