Christmas Day Prayer

My sadness and sorrow I see in my face The lines and the wrinkles won’t go away I’m all alone on this Christmas day How can I be happy when I’m old and gray All my friends and family have forgotten me It has been years that I’ve had any company Abandoned and ignored and left for dead Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my head. Hold Me Jesus, I am full of anxiety and fear I don’t have the desire to live one more year I’ve suffered so long, I am so frail and weak I’m crying out to you because life seems so bleak. My prayer for this Christmas day is to be In my own home where I can feel free Where I can reminisce of the great memories When we were once a big loving family. I want to hear the laughter of the children at play Stare at the smiles of those I meet along the way I know my Christmas would truly be a festive event. If I could feel loved, happy, blessed and content. This poem is about those sitting in nursing homes, homeless, or neglected. Sometimes people are left in nursing homes, hospitals or their own homes, never to be visited by relatives or friends. There are so many homeless and wandering people that have never had a warm meal or a Merry Christmas Day. This season try to make someone's Christmas a festive event where they can feel, loved, blessed and content.
