T’is the night before christmas
And all cheer is done
We opened our presents
and had us great fun
For this year at Christmas,
my ex has the troop
So I had them all week,
and now we’re all pooped.
For 12 days we did christmas,
and our hearts filled with joy
Presents each day
for three good little boys.
The end was a doozy
they got worlds near and far
They can visit them daily
‘cuz they got a VR
Now we live the oasis
That wonderful dream
The look on their faces
the sounds of their screams
Perhaps the joy of christmas
isnt hard to find
The pleasure I think
Is watching kids lose their minds
But another joy lurks
its just out of sight
Something better than gifts
something that’s truly right.
The true meaning of christmas
and solstice before
Is to think of your loved ones
and open your doors.
Invite love to join you
tell it come right in
Connect with your family
Reach out to your friends.
To be alone on christmas
is a weight hard to bear
Its tough to see no one
yet assume someone cares
So as I close please listen
Hear me well, I say.
Christmas is special
Its much more than a day.
Find yourself, find a loved one
find a place to belong
alone like this next year?
That’s terribly wrong.
