Alone for the Holiday

Holiday joy no longer shines inside of me
No one to share them with, I'm here all alone
The tree, tinsel, and lights are not in place
Who would see them? It's just unknown

Death has touched me once during this time
Since then there has always be something
missing a piece of myself,
no longer here to share his love
I just sit and watch life pass,
while I'm reminiscing

I struggle to continue this new holiday season
Presents for my new love and
my son made me glad
The hardest part was adding
the cards on them
To my angel from me and
to my son from your dad

Maybe in the future, I wouldn't be alone
I pray that there will be someone I can
share this very special time that
only comes once a year
Someone to bring back the joy,
someone who cares
