Don't Forget This Christmas Time

Cold chills and windy nights

Snow trying hard to settle

British breeze and Cups of tea

An ever boiling kettle

Kids running, wild and free

Counting down the days

Tired parents, giving up

Those weeks become a haze

Lots of spending and time too

Time becomes not enough

The lonely ones I feel for now

This time of year is rough

Singing songs and bright lights

The atmosphere is everywhere

Lots together, some love it all

Some, don't really care

Family time and puddings galore

Chocolate and lots of treats

Candy canes and golden coins

Puds and lots of sweets

Turkeys and spinach, Brussel sprouts

Don't forget the Vegan dinners too

Laughter and wobbly thighs

We always pile it on (we should sue)

The ones that drink, the ones that don't

The ones that have too much

The ones that hit, the ones that hurt

The ones that stay out of touch

Not cheer for all, heartache for some

But a season to be grateful

Families and friends, if you're the lucky few

Not to be surrounded by the hateful

Mistletoe and wine on repeat

We all get sick of that song

But while we moan, we laugh and joke

As we can't help but sing along

Spoilt kids and adults too

Those that can, go over the top

Emptying the aisles in every store

Filling up every shop

Remember to be grateful this year though

And don't leave others troubles behind

For those alone, on the streets and orphaned too

Love those this Christmas Time

Thank you for reading my poem. This was written with sorrow for all of those that are alone at this time of year. If you could find it in your hearts to click to heart but instead of donating to me, please donate to Crisis.
