Poem about the most impactful day of my life

Yes

It is true

How do you choose

One day

That has impacted you

More than any other

Especially

At my age

Yes

I am old

Relationships

So many

Weddings

Children born

Grandchildren

Graduations

Illness

Loss

Betrayal

All full of impact

Yes

But to choose one

I can say

It may always be

The day we brought

A Christmas tree

To our friend

With all the singing children

From her classes

Yes

We stood around the tree

Outside her home

Snow falling

Or that is how I remember it

We  sang carols

We decorated the tree

My tears turned to ice

I looked at our mutual friend

It was all we could do

To keep on singing

And not fall apart

Yes

It has been eleven christmases

Since we have lost her

But the day remains

Etched in memory

In all we might do

To keep her close

To keep her with us

To never let her go

She is with us forever

Because of that day

Because of that memory

Because of that love
