The Holiday Blues
Christmas is a time of giving a time for sharing too
But for those who have lost a loved one, it’s time for the holiday blues
Families getting together, all cousins playing in the back room
The adults are busy chatting, but I hide alone staring up at the moon
Smiles on everyone’s faces the alcoholics are getting wasted
The Christmas music in the background but nobody notices that you’re not around
My eyes are swollen from all the tears I have cried Oh how I wish it was someone else and not you that died
It’s so hard to get into the holiday spirit with so much grief, why can’t I be happy like them will I ever get any relief?
The holiday blues are so hard to get through, now my tear soaked shirt is sticking to me like glue
My Allieah angel her family she’ll never meet and my precious nana her personality and cooking no one can ever beat
My beautiful nanny we recently lost you the holidays were hard enough and now you’re gone too
The holidays are supposed to be filled with happiness and cheer, for those of us who have lost loved ones, without them yet another year
I miss you so much how I wish you were still here today because with you gone it’s just another lonely holiday
In memory of
Allieah, Nana, Nanny,
Zariah, Gizmo, Maddysion, Ajeb, Fuzzy
