With no snow to cover
The ground and trees it
Seems like another gray
Day of fall. The days are
Getting longer and the
Temperatures mild and
It does not feel as though
Christmas is a day away.
It is a dreary feeling and
When one has prepared
It is a disappointment. The
Influx of cards and greetings
Has diminished and I have
Been ignored by many of
My so-called friends. I can
Forgive them and do as they
Are probably sick or may have
Had a bad year which left them
Handicapped. The thing hits at
A time when you are already
Depressed because of the weather,
Etc. a lot of energy expended to
Celebrate the birth of Jesus and
Many are not happy at all. Maybe
We are selfish or possibly just old.
Conditions will get better, but it will
Be too late.
