Time to celebrate around the world,
called by many names
from many lands.

A time of gathering,
family yearly, time to caught up,
learning of missed moments of the year.

Looking back with thoughts,
moments and great cheer,
how we gathered around the tree opening gifts.

Coming to this time of year, memories bringing tears.

Thoughts grow strong,
wishing to relive some of that happy life.
But, there is no tree, there are no lights
or friends or family to share the days and nights.

Sitting all alone
on this night as the world celebrates
together in joy and happiness.

As I sit looking out at the world,
Wishing to be with friends and family.
Tears run down my cheek, I'm not at peace.
Loneliness my only friend.

Check on your neighbors who may be alone, you can cause a smile with just a little heart.
