My Last Christmas

My Last Christmas

Alone inside
Alone outside
Alone in a world so dark
Seems little matters anymore
Friends are no more
Loved ones gone forever
I’m just a relic of a time long passed

I watch the snow fall from my window
Catch a glimpse of the joyous faces of others
The children smiling through the windows of their loving home
Happy
And I remember when that was me

For me this Christmas I expect little
The twinkle lights are fading for me now
Soon they will be gone
Only the coldness to remain
Still I’ll remember the children’s smiling faces
And I too will smile
Facing death with a joyous heart
And a final warm embrace



Spare a thought for the elderly this Christmas especially those who are alone, if you can, try and make it a special one for them. Something as simple as a card to wish a Merry Christmas or a simple smile and a wave can make all the difference for one day when you are older you may wish someone to do the same for you.
