Someone

I wrote this poem after leaving a church program by myself last Christmas season and seeing all the couples walking to their vehicles together.

I want someone to
Hold my hand
As I walk through the snow;
Someone to whisper into
My ear
As we huddle in the back row;
Someone to talk to when
I'm lonely
Or just want somebody to know;
Someone to tell me that
I'm beautiful
And mean it from his soul;
But tonight
I walk through the snow
Alone.
