There is silence
Where once there were children playing
The sky is cloudy and seems like it’s graying
We are thrown a bone
To chew on and reflect
Should we take up this fight?
We cannot do it alone.
Christmas is so close
And you are not home
And our gingerbread house
It seems to fall every year
But what a treat to eat and to laugh
My little tree has been put up
No decorations so it’s bare.
Christmas tree parties
There will be none this year.
Just a number for another day lost,
We can only shed a tear.
Words on a page,
To remember Christmases’ Past.
No stockings will be hung
And Santa won’t be visiting this year.
Even he will remember
There used to be children here
No children laughing
Just another day to sleep in
Unlike last year when we were up at 5
And no turkey this year
We can never win.
Will you remember like we just did?
And look in the back of your mind
To remember Christmases past
And will you shed a tear too?
You have to remember we will always
LOVE YOU!!
