I walk down the jolly road
Basking in the Christmas glow,
Families decorating trees,
Fairy lights and all things pretty.
I witness them make merry,
Decorating homes with reindeer
Lucky are they to have one, I swear.
Homeless in an alien land
I find myself alone again.
No festivities for the beggars
The crowd only mean more alms and onlookers.
I shrugged almost in a sarcastic smile,
"Are you only for the rich, Almighty Divine?"
Suddenly, as the sun still shone bright
A shower of rain came pouring down,
While the sky looked bright white.
People ran to find shelters and cars
I stood in awe, looking up.
Soaking wet in the winter rain,
I noticed the droplets hitting my face.
There they were, tiny drops
Shining in the rays, in bright colours.
Smiling, I folded my hands in thanks,
He had given me my own colourful lanterns.
