The streets are bare – the traffic light It has been that way – since early last night A check of the forum – posts moving down slow – Traffic light here too – wouldn’t you know Most with their families - it’s to be expected Many forget – some are neglected Alone in a crowd– or alone by yourself It doesn’t matter – you feel ‘on a shelf’ So here’s to the lonely – I’ve been there I know And I wouldn’t be here – if I weren’t alone now I know what I’d like – to be cuddled together Just one on one – ignoring the weather But in hours too short – I’ll be back with the mob Hearing shouts of laughter and occasional sobs Sons, daughters and grandkids yelling and screaming “I didn’t get this” or “I must be dreaming” I love them all make no mistake But sometimes I wish they’d just give me a break She’s centered on kids- loves them all with a passion A passion once mine – used to be her fashion Anyhow it is Christmas – one more joyous Yule And so we remember the old golden rule So I will be there – and bless all with love And pray it too comes down from God above Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

it's funny how the holidays are supposed to be joyous, but oftentimes people have expectations greater than what can be and it's very stressful.... all that said.... your poem says it better... and now I'll just say... Merry Christmas, Bill!!!! |
