This is a spontaneous Christmas poem I wrote to show the festive season can be fun for some people but hard for others…
Christmas is a time for…
Christmas is a time for fun and enjoyment, love and laughter
However, for other people, it can feel lonely, isolating, sad, worrying and stressful
Resting, relaxing and recuperating is ideal this time of year
Indulging in food, drink and festive films
Singing along to a bit of Mariah, Noddy and Wham!
Testing the family’s knowledge with trivial pursuits, scrabble, charades and other games
Make a love one smile with that perfect gift
And yet many of us are facing pain, grief, illness and life difficulties
So, this Christmas, appreciate what you have and who you’re with while also thinking of those we’ve lost and who are finding it tough during the holiday season.
