Lonely Christmas
***
Where are you Christmas?
My heart is hanging low;
like a tattered worn out ribbon
a frayed old crumpled bow.
Tinsel has lost its luster.
Lights have all drawn dim.
I cradle my lonely Christmas;
my tree I just won't trim.
Where do you hide, my Christmas,
this joyous festive season.
Shine your light upon me,
give my life a reason.
Egotists all set astride,
ready for the day.
While all alone I sit and cry,
for love to come my way.
Underneath the velvet stars,
the cratered moon so high.
I wonder what the sheer night holds;
I span the open sky.
Where is my treasured Christmas;
a Rockwell theme of yore.
With family gathered all around,
glistening lights galore.
Want and greed have sold you out,
your nothing but a show.
No longer lighting up my life.
my Christmas holds no glow.
My heart is hanging low;
like a tattered worn out ribbon
a frayed old crumpled bow.
Tinsel has lost its luster.
Lights have all drawn dim.
I cradle my lonely Christmas;
my tree I just won't trim.
Where do you hide, my Christmas,
this joyous festive season.
Shine your light upon me,
give my life a reason.
Egotists all set astride,
ready for the day.
While all alone I sit and cry,
for love to come my way.
Underneath the velvet stars,
the cratered moon so high.
I wonder what the sheer night holds;
I span the open sky.
Where is my treasured Christmas;
a Rockwell theme of yore.
With family gathered all around,
glistening lights galore.
Want and greed have sold you out,
your nothing but a show.
No longer lighting up my life.
my Christmas holds no glow.
