My Christmas Wish

A lonely girl's Christmas wish.

It has been a long time since I last saw you.

It has been a long time since I last heard your voice.

I never heard anything from you,

And you regarded me like I am not existing at all.

No calls, no text messages, no emails.

It's like you vanish at the face of the earth.

It's like you cut off every connection we have.

Do you really hate me that much?

All I ever want is a father's loving touch.

All I ever want is father's loving smile.

All I ever want is to grow up having a father around.

Is it really impossible to have that wish?

I often envy other families .

They always spend their Christmas happily and completely together.

But here I am spending my time at home all alone,

Sitting at the front porch, wondering when will you call.

It's my only wish every Christmas. 

But it hurts so much when it won't come true.

They say it's all right because there are still many years to come.

Yes, there are more to come but I hope I'm still there when it passes by.

Very honest and truthful

This was touching, wish I had had the chance to read it closer to the holidays.. For some Christmas is a time to celebrate but often it appears to be a time we mull over the people we have around us. Who they are, who they used to be, who we wish was still around. For me this has been the case the last couple of years also, and reading this poem was very relatable and touching. All I can say is, this year make the most of the ones who are around

A sad and powerful Christmas poem. I smile and try to be happy for the family during the holidays. I believe wrong reasons for holidays now. I like the days when the family gather and we had long conversations and found laughter. Life are lessons for us. In time. Enjoy you find your happiness in the future. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Poignant and tragically an all too familiar theme for many people during the holiday season. Very well done. Kudos for this one.

Very nice of you to do for a friend. You did a wonderful job on a daughter missing out on a father's love.
