Christmas

Christmas joy it brings to some and sorrow falls on others
Families gather together, while loneness over comes another
Smiles on the children’s faces, and frowns on the empty places
New Year’s promise a new life for some, yet it ends a life for one
Christmas brings the star yet it also leaves a scar
One greets his new guest, while another gets depressed
We sleep in the dark, he sleeps in the park
Christmas brings joy and sorrow, I hope for a better tomorrow

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
