Strength

Strength is when you are surrounded

by Christmas trees and Christmas songs

The festives are extremely and friendly loud

and yet you just sit alone with your coffee cup.

Strength is when love is in the air

with holiday feelings lighting the day

while Christmas lights bright the night

and you need to smile with your broken heart.

Strength is when the world is all excitement

music, presents, christmas cards and cookies

When people take turns to hang decorations on the line

while you decorate your heart on your own this time.
