Christmas Cards

Always beside 

On guard

Ready to cheer to smile

Sharing every moment each minute

Coloring my world kind

Can’t he see 

I can’t come closer

Can’t he see 

I’m scared

I’m afraid

I need to run away

So tired

Beside me 

So flat

Trying to understand to grasp

Clinging to hope, forcing the trust

Everything turns into black and white

Can’t he see 

I can’t come any closer

Can’t he see 

I’m scared

I’m afraid

I need to run away

I watch them pick Christmas cards

They giggle and smile

Please God, colour their world kind!
