Cheer & Joy Is All We Lack

Be as is it may these days are full of tears,
though someday I will find
the joy.
Once again cheers will be heard
instead of my cries.

Be kind to your soul,
for lost as it might feel
one day you will see
your soul was never lost
or empty,
and that I stood here
the whole time at your door.

I bring to ye,
good cheer and joy
not one day out of the year
but for 365 days in all.

I will be like a ghost from Christmas past,
I'll haunt you to your very last.
 
Tell the bells toll,
tell your soul dulls,
and the days become dark  
and cold.

I will be a dull pain sticking in your back,
each pen prick will remind you of all you lack.

I'm the shadow of Christmas past,
a whisper of old times that will never come back.

Cheer and joy is all we lack!
