Christmas Day Today it’s Christmas Day and no presents beneath the tree Neglected 12 months of the year and today it's only me Only remembered when favours needing done Can't they ask somebody else, am I the only one? I hear the sound of a child's laughter Coming from the house next door Maybe neighbours will invite me in But they never have before I see numerous deliveries of presents by the score Nothing ever comes for me, they're always for next door Family come and go, for she's a well-loved mum, I hear their constant chatter, visitors I have none At noon, I will go into my freezer And take out my meal for one Christmas Day is a lonely day When you have no-one.

I really love this poem Jenny .were I live there are so many people who
Live alone some like there own company but most just never see anyone.
This poem reminds me of a Documentary that I watched on TV called living on lonely street.
