In the poem No Christmas for my children by Dimitri Shestakovich, is about a woman who is expressing her feelings about not being able to celebrate Christmas with her children because she has no money or home. That made me feel sad because she's homeless for Christmas. In the poem it says no money for tomorrow no place to lay my head. the poem tells us that she really wishes that she can have a home, bed, Christmas tree, presents and ornaments to put on the tree. since she has nothing to give except her love.
I think the poem is trying to tell us even if we have a bed or ornaments the best gift to give our children is the gift of love. this poem makes me sad because being homeless on Christmas is really tough. Its cold, hard to get food, and people seeing you as a failure. plus having kids is really tough no presents just your love. Something that really popped out was that she don't have no family that she can be with.
