A Christmas Sigh

Christmas is a happy time
For some but not for all
Sadness is not far away
Amongst the merry play
Loved ones cherished, time to hug
Enjoy the moment keep it dear
Be happy as you shed a tear
For those with a burden hard to share
For those, we miss this time of year

My Christmas poem is prompted by the sadness I feel for so many friends who are experiencing personal problems at this difficult time of year and my almost constant empathetic tearfulness...
