The Christmas Wait

24th of December it was,

Christmas was just a day behind.

The sun was accompanied by snow ,

that scenery could blow your mind.


All their jokes & laughter could be heard,

as they cleaned the house with glee.

With all it’s greenery covered with snow,

the lawn awaited the Christmas tree.


Their mind full of false hope

& heart full of wait.

Wearing a fake smile without confidence,

they sat staring at the gate.


No one came & none would, this

each one of them knew.

Still they sat as if a ritual

blindly looking at the view.


The cool wind jerked them back to reality,

it was already midnight.

Wishing each other Merry Christmas,

they exchanged gifts & hugged tight.


Standing near the tree & facing the

house, now their eyes were red.

With mixed feelings they read the board,

“Welcome to the Old Age Home” which said.
