Christmas around the corner

Sweet smell of cake hovering around

Old couple 

Confined in a room

Holding hands 

Comforting each other

Remembering the old golden busy days

Of partying with children and relatives

Now everyone is busy in their own life

 Old couple

 Forlorn

 Depression setting in

 Still

Trying to count their blessings

 Waiting anxiously

With a little hope in their heart

For a knock on the door
