WINTER BLUES
A cold, rainy, winter day brings sadness and a blue funk
No sun to disperse the gray clouds of despair
I must look for something to do
to stave off the dregs of another Christmas
a Christmas that had been filled with the joy of family,
friends, carols being sung but now --- all gone
So why do I feel alone and dejected
what must I do
But wait, I know a neighbor who's crippled and cannot walk
I'll go down and visit for a while
and maybe just sit and talk about the weather
After that,there's Mrs. Jones over on Maple Street with arthritis in her bones
and gout swelling her feet, and gnarling her hands with pain. She would probably enjoy a visit
Then of course, there's Mr. McCord in the local nursing home
whose wife went to be with the Lord two days before Christmas and left him all alone
If I visit each of them today to catch up on all the news they have to tell me simply because they need someone to spend some time with them
These winter blues may go away and finally clear the air so I won't feel so rejected but filled with joy and cheer to know that I'm much better off than my
neighbors who have no one to show them love
