Another Christmas To Wish Away
Before there were endless,
delightful days of tender joys
and together we cherished
a very sweet happiness;
there has never been a moment
this lonely and sad...
Outside there are
twinkling lights everywhere,
carols being joyfully sung
and enthusiastically played;
hasty folks carrying bags full of gifts,
glancing at items they shouldn't miss...
Beggars huddled together at cosy streets' corners,
don't ask for money,but wish every passerby,
"Merry Christmas!"...hiding their empty eyes,
hoping,like me, for a small miracle
in a wealthy city so very kind to all;
a great city, which never forgets generosity...
This is going to be
another Christmas to wish away,
writing fancy cards to friends and dear ones,
near or far;wrapping presents
by the glamorous Christmas Tree,
but the true spirit is not in me...
All I am wishing today:
is to have you around and inside this heart
for an entire lifetime;
if everyone wishes for what their heart desires,
I,too, can start dreaming of what
tomorrow can bring me...
This is going to be
another Christmas to wish away,
to mark down in my unfinished diary:
as the saddest day
in my life's history...
not feeling how painful it can be!
O generous Christmas,listen for a minute...
I am hoping to see,in the shortest time,
her beautiful face showing the prettiest smile!
I am going to trace those distant footsteps
in the mist of the falling snowflakes;
O impatient Christmas,please wait!
