They
say the holidays are the hardest
Solitude
is pronounced, shouted
No
one hears the cry of the lonely
Watching
families thronging in, hugging
Singing,
eating, laughing, kissing
No
one sees the loneliness of the alone
Far
away from loved ones who miss
The
joy, the laughter, now a memory
The
heart longs for what the heart misses
The
silent cry of the lonely resonate
No tree to decorate, no turkey trimmings
No
stockings stuffed, no embrace
Inner light's extinguished for now
The
ache is so deep it cracks dry land
Take
heart, you who are alone this season
Find a comedy show on that channel
Plug
in a comedy movie to laugh-cry
But
laugh, really laugh to alleviate the pain
Laugh,
really laugh to gladden your heart
Laugh,
really laugh; you have no choice
Bundle
up, eat ice cream; fill your diary
I understand dinner for one; I've been there
See the flip side of that: all that's for you
Write
songs, dream of the New Year
This,
too, shall pass, I promise
Make your heart feel and see tomorrow
TRY
to be happy, be merry, be joyful
This,
too, shall pass, I promise
