Christmas alone..

Author: cafetwo2010

Some might call it a
lonely christmas sittin'
here in the dark..
But my lil' tree is all
I need to warm my weary
heart..
I guess family could be
here but it wasen't meant
to be..
So I'll gaze at this lovely
glow from my lil' christmas
tree..

"Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home" (Carol Nelson), when you get lonesome - even when you're not alone, if there isn't someone special beside on this special night, cause we all need "to warm our weary hearts"... Try to make it the other way round next Christmas so that there are you, your lil' Christmas tree and someone very dear to your heart. You're not alone - we are all here wishing you Merry Christmas!

There is a joke - there is nothing weird in talking to your christmas tree, the weird things begin when the tree starts talking to you. Hahaha, for the lonely ones not to be sad because of their loneliness.

Nice poem, cafe, thnx.

with all the aggro expressed at Christmas as well as the good cheer, I sometimes think being home alone might have its good points, but we're so tuned into being with others as festive times, we can't see the wood for the trees...but dear Cafe, you seem to have picked the best of it...and focused on....count your blessings....'comes to mind....Hope all is well for you....Kathyxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I Agree!!Cafe For Yes! we do seem to need the misfortunes and lonlinness of others ....to feel compassion which is a sad fact .
For so often we cant see the wood ..for the trees.

" BLESSINGS TO YOU "

Hi, cafetwo2010,
Whether together or Christmas alone.., my lil' christmas tree does brighten up the house and spirits. Enjoy the lovely glow of the season! Happy New Year!

TY gnj4u** Where in the world have you been dear?

Missed your poetry. I sent out a knight looking for you but his horse got stuck in the mud.Now he's a horse of a different colour!

Wasen't that funny!! Merry Christmas darlin'..

hope you had a lovely christmas day gypsy jack

when people hear of others alone they see them as lonely yet their blind in seeing the lonely that are not alone

nothing or no one is ever as it, or they seem

Ty itchy** I'm in gypsy heaven dear.

Merry Christmas! Oh..keep the caravan rolling.

Ty Odette**
The explosive colours in
midnight dark is a sight
to behold..
But the joy that burns
within my heart can never
be told~
Merry Christmas dear**

Hi Jim

The poignancy in this short poem speaks volumes. A very caring write from someone who is clearly a special human being.

Kindest regards, buddy...

Bill

PS
Our Scottish friends from just over the border have a friendly toast with which they often see in the New Year... Lang may yer lum reek! Which roughly translated means "Long may your chimney smoke." Glaswegians are liable to add "Aye, wi other folks' coal."

Lang may your lum reek Jim

cafetwo2010OPHarford county, Maryland USADec 27, 2011

Ty Bill** With a coompliment like that I ordered the chef to put extra mash potatoes on your plate at the castle shin-dig.

not to mention a fair maiden on each arm..Give our Scottish friends my reguards aand I'll make sure I'm smoking the right stuff from my chimney..Merry Christmas!

Cafe, hope this Christmas and many, many more to come you will be greeting much more hopeful and less lonely! God bless all of us and give each what he or she dearly needs!

Christmas for me is a time to reflect on the birth of our Lord and Savior and why He came. Lonely is a state of mind - not a physical condition! Merry Christmas Jim!
