CHRISTMAS IS COMING

“Oh” Christmas is coming and I'm all alone,
With no one to snuggle at night.
My wineglass is empty to help dull the desire
To kiss you by soft candlelight.

A rare pearl of value, you don 't leave alone
Or someone will steal them from you.
After they've gone and flown far away
It's hard to know just what to do.

I'm watching my neighbors hang lights on their tree;
With tinsel and striped candy cane.
Cause I took you for granted and didn't hug enough;
And now I must suffer my pain.

Lord, I'm so lonely; I wish I could die,
Then be born to relive again.
I realize the value of someone to love
And the danger of my selfish sin.

There's a ring on my phone and a knock at the door.
Which do I dare go for?
For, if neither is you, I'll break down and cry
And again pound my fist on the floor.

As I run down the hall the doorknob turns,
As the swirling snow rides on the wind.
There, in my doorway, it's the face that I love
Such a beautiful present to send.

Now, I am happy and dancing around,
With a permanent smile on my face.
As children are singing their Christmas love songs,
And the world is a wonderful place.

a pleasure to read, well done

I never looked forward to Christmas because I knew I would be working or alone...maybe this Christmas will be different! Wonderful write Tom!
