Forgotten

Ding dong, hear the bells of Christmas. Wind songs of the holiday. How many bells are ringing How many bells are singing A sad song that belongs to yesterday. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. How many hearts have wandered to the alleys? How many minds have simply gone astray? A face that once held laughter Spends Christmas in the park Hypnotized by Christmas bells That ring and sing till dark If only they could bring back yesterday… Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Eyes that used to sparkle Have hallowed with time. No one was there to listen No one could spare a dime. The children of the past – they don’t remember The happiness that came with each December. They don’t even know what made the minds go astray. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

That is true too often. Sad that in the time when so many are celebrating, there are those who are soulfully lonely. Thank you for writing this and sharing...Ed :)
