Not Everyone At Christmas Poem by Phil Soar

Not everyone looks forward to this time of year
Not everyone feels happiness or yuletide cheer
Not everyone shares feelings but requires some care
Not everyone can smile when there's no purpose there

Not everyone wants you to call on christmas day
Not everyone has presents they can give away
Not everyone has sympathy for those who fall
Not everyone will welcome you if you should call

Not everyone will feel the way that they once felt
Not everyone will hear the words that make hearts melt
Not everyone will have a loved one by their side
Not everyone will have a smile that's open wide

Not everyone will share the words they once expressed
Not every sound will fill a room with happiness
Not every piece of wisdom shared or gifts exchanged
Will help to ease the pain of loved ones that remain

So spare a thought for everyone less fortunate than you
Not everyone is smiling, and not every dream comes true
Not thinking now of others, when your life is very bright
Won't help them through this time of year
Or help them sleep tonight.
