Snow and cold
A bad time for the old
They cant go anywhere
They need someone to care
Loneliness sets in
To forget them is a sin
At this time of year
When the holidays are here
Remember that old dear who
worked her fingers to the bone
So that toy could be your own
Who always thought of you and
did the best that she could do
Now it your turn to be true
And bring her to stay with you
To share your family and your home
then she wont be alone
So just pick up that phone
And what joy you will own
The holidays are about love and giving
should be everyday where living
Not just one day a year because
the holidays are here
Author notes
Just feeling the cold and thinking about the old so many forgotton by there familys it very sad

Yes it is sad when families do not have the money or hope to make it through Christmas. Its a rough time for many people in general, but we always want the good to outshine the bad. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.

Lovely write. It's a very sweet poem and has a nice rhythm to it. I think there may be a typo in one line, though:
"Who always though of you" should probably be "thought of you".
THANK YOU FOR ENTERING! GOOD LUCK! -
