Alone Again On Christmas Day Poem by Barry Jablonski

Alone again on a Christmas Day
A time to reflect, a time to pray
Beautiful gifts sit under my tree
That take delight in mocking me

I'm drinking coffee from my cup
Wondering why the hell I'm up
Nobody's here to share the day
My life is like a sad cliché…

No one to see the passion play
Only my cats, that sleep all day
How did I ever end up like this
No love to share or holiday kiss

And as this day drags on and on
I pray a distraction comes along
Jehovah's Witnesses will be OK
They'll drive the loneliness away
