Christmas Is A Long Time Coming

By Paul McCann

 

It’s a long time coming 

but that special something 

you had has gone away 

.

Sometimes I miss you more 

even more than before 

right now on Christmas day .

 

I’m missing your smile 

and the things you used to do ,

each time I think of you .

 

It’s a lonely Christmas , 

I think of times gone past ,

and the Christmas we knew .

A sad poignanat refection, and all too true for those for whom Christmas is as much the abscence of loved ones; I thought you expressed this elequently Paul.

Most people are laughing and enjoying the season of Christmas 

but there are the forgotten and lonely who lock themselves away from the world .

There are also those who have lost someone dear and Christmas 

is a sad experience . 

Thsnks Dougie for the kind support and understanding you have here .

Kindvregards

When my dad called and you "I'm Coming!" he shouted  "And Christmas is coming too!"

Well there you have it, 360 days now or something.

Your last stanza is haunting. Ok see you! Tom
