• The Sadness Of Christmas Past •
I watch the people
rushing by
Shopping for last minute gifts
Looking for something special
To patch the family rifts
If only I could join
them
In their Christmas joy
But all I want for Christmas
Is a memory decoy.
Christmas can be
wonderful
But some feel only pain
The memories of the past
Taking over once again.
Time can heal the
heartache
But the feelings linger on
The loss of someone close to you
The pain that hasn't gone.
At Christmas sadness
increases
For those with no-one close
Remember whilst you're having fun
That some might be morose.
All around are loved
ones
Cherish them every day
But stop and spare a thought
For those lost along the way.
