As One Tear Drops

As One Tear Drops

A Poem by Larry Dyson
"

seasonal

"

A reasonable Season  which encourages well wishes and cheer...

for those who have little to want .

 

Another time of depression for those who have lost or are losing that which may make joy in their lives.

 

Bridges and cardboard boxes for homes, shelter from cold winds and absent huggs from people lost or never found.

 

We will remember them all this Season, children in rags and worn out blankets with a bedragled teddy or none at'all.

 

Candy canes do not dance and sugarplum- candied apples do not entice...

 

As One Tear drops.

Heartbreaking yet brilliant!! I agree with the message and I really like how well you conveyed it along with a Christmas feel and I love the violin cover of Zelda Skyward. Fits perfectly.

Beautiful, true, heartbreaking and a message well conveyed.

A gently stern reminder that the "season of giving" is no gift for far too many. We all chafe at the fake, tawdry commercialism that the season has tried to become, but this snapshot of those who truly need...Encapsulated in that final shining teardrop.

May that teardrop linger in the corners of our minds, inspiring us to reach beyond, and to truly give.

Lovely.

I like this serene write. Not for everyone this is a good season. I thank you for pointing this out.
We need to be aware it's not all glitter and glamour.

Something we need to focus on year round. Timely message for those who don't.

Peace & Friendship

this is a nice reminder/poem of this season...we should all take time to help someone less fortunate this season...

just a reminder ..the most perfect selfless christ mass gift is your self.. in some manner give a part of yourself...Give Platelets or Blood ...or a dinner in your Town or City..find a way and give the one gift that costs ..your time..
