Christmas Without My Family

Its Christmas time
I am sitting here all alone
Divorced and missing my little boy
Its hard to feel cheerfull
When I am missing my pride and joy
At the stores it gets irritating
Buying the gifts its just not the same
Knowing he wont be here on Christmas
I let them go, so I am to blame

Presents are just presents
Gifts just gifts
Without your Children around
Christmas as a day is just what it is
Trying to feel like a adult
But I feel I have lost my cheer
Trying to be a man
No need for you to see my tears

This year I can do with out the tree
Is there really any need for the lights'
With out family around
The holiday just doesnt seem right
Hard lesson to learn
One lesson I need to make
Proof I am not perfect
Next year will not make the same mistake

Besides the weather is miserable
Where is the snow?
Please send no gifts
Lets forget the ribbons and bows
Here is to Twenty Four hours
Of loneliness and misery
Lets hope it goes fast
Christmas without my family
