CHRISTMAS ALONE
This Yuletide I think I’ll sleep.
After all it’s mid winter.
Dreams under a duvet
will avoid the memories,
memories I find hard to keep
The crash was unexpected
No, if only it was an economic one.
She was an innocent on the pavement
The van driver was drunk, I need say no more
She was my wife, much loved and respected
Family live far away, though I was invited
I declined this year but maybe not next.
Grief has its time of passage
The passage is so slow
I just can’t get excited
Cards lie in a pile on the table
Sentiments are mixed
Hopeful comments and sorry, so very sorry.
I’d put them up
If only I was able.
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
All alone without you
John Denver said it all.
His melancholic music suits me
I might just sing along.
I wish you could know how much I miss you
I wish you could know how much I love you.
