Christmas Desire
Each and Every December
the material things surface
I want, I want
But what if the thing you want most
You cannot buy or have ?
Each and Every
gift given or recieved
One after another
Is not the thing you long for most
Tears surface as it hits you
Each and Every
tear that is shed
Drop after drop
Cannot bring you your desire
as the thing you desire is gone
Each and Every
wintery night that comes
Snowflake upon snowflake
melts just as your heart does
as you look at that picture
Each and Every
smiling child
smile after smile
reminds me of what i long for
my beautiful girl
Each and Every
Christmas season
Santa comes Santa goes
reminds me of what my girl has missed
and deepens the hole in my heart
Each and Every December
people of this world
nationality after nationality
all desire something they cannot have
but yet this happy season
does not bring them comfort
but pain and memories
What is it you want ?
