For some people
Christmas is not easy.
Like the young family
Friends gone for the holidays
Or too busy with their own families
To remember they are alone.
Like the old man
Last living of his peers
Sitting alone in his room
With his memories.
Like the shattered family
Heartbroken and hurting
No longer gathering
In the same place.
Like the person who said goodbye
To someone they love deeply
And the empty place at the table
Somehow seems emptier.
Like the young woman
Poor and far from home
Pregnant and uncomfortable
With nowhere to stay for the night.
For some people
Christmas is not easy.
