Tears and Holidays

There are so many wondrous things

About this time of year
And yet, despite the joy filled days,
My eye’s touched by a tear.
 
I want to feel the joy inside
That I felt years ago,
But I find that harder to do
As the years come and go.
 
I know the joy is still in there
And it will soon come out,
But right now I fight back the tears
For those I’m left without.
