he never came,reasons why i did not know dispite my invite he never did show. i did not have to but i know he's alone reasons why dispite my full house i invited him to my home.
my table is full yet for him i set a plate and because he didnt show twas good food gone to waste.
christmas returns to the attic thaw begins after snow and there lays the answer to her question why dad did never show.
he slipped he fell unable to get up he gave in to not feeling wanted no longer feeling loved. the snow was cold yet it was a blanket of warmth for it took him from a world where he no longer wished to belong.

About this poem:
last christmas an elderly man vanished, where to wasnt known till the snow thawed.. his death always pulled at my heart strings as to why no one looked for him, especially them that were expecting him.
Hi, itchywitch, Yes, some news is quite perplexing and disturbing, leaving one wondering what type of relationships he had built, how reliable he was at showing up on other occasions, and, the closest to home, could something like that ever happen to us or someone we know. Thanks for sharing.
