Poem

A Lonely Christmas, Not So Lonely Afterall.

I closed the door with flowers in hand
Walked the side walk alone,
People passed me without a wave
Was going to read the epitaph on stone.
Flowers for my darling that passed away
Leaving me with children far away
 To celebrate another lonely Christmas Day.

I entered the house of the dead
Where people find a final place to rest,
It was quiet, peaceful, solemn and still
Not a tune of wind like on blueberry hill.
I doffed my cap placing flowers gently down:
Remember meeting her in the busy town.
Sixty years together we spent in joy
Sixty Christmas trees built with lights and toys.
Children were small once, now all grown
Found their way, living in their own zone.
They phone to wish on Christmas day
With love and kisses from far away.

I walked alone trudging along
People passing by
Not a wave or nod or wish 
Though their Christmas spirits were high.
Someone seated on a bench 
Ignored my struggling legs,
I wanted to say hello friend
But he turned away his neck.
I entered a small café warm:
Splendid to the bone
A stranger offered me a drink
I suddenly felt not alone.

A little dog came up to me
Jumped upon my seat;
Petted him; he my hand licked
Then jumped down to my feet.
A lady seeing her dog with me
Came, greeting me with glee
Wishing me for Christmas
With a plate of warm pastry.
Her husband joined me at table
After hugging me warmly
I suddenly felt not alone,
That Christmas afterall.
