The Man Of Christmas Poem by Faith Taylors

as abc family broadcast home alone
as kids sit around the campfire making s'mores
as the parents watch their kids' eyes filled with joy

the man sits alone

wondering where his family is
wondering if anyone remember him
wondering what he could've done differently

the man reminiscences about his past

reminiscing about his son who died in the car accident two years ago
reminiscing the bedtime stories his mother would tell him
reminiscing about the moment where he could've made a difference.

the man who sits alone reminiscing about the years before.
