Christmas time, Christmas cheer
A time for joy as it draws near.
Yet it’s also one I fear
As the loneliest time of year.
Opening presents, pretending to laugh
Smile in place, How long must it last?
Happiness and joy are given to others
To some by family, some by lovers
Cheer from all within our life
We seek to have little strife.
Yet this time can be hard to bear
When with others, there’s no joy to share.
No smiles, no laughter, silent despair
As you wonder.. How is it fair?
