Standing here in the crowd
Alone and dejected
Everybody finding friends
family and others they love
smiles And warm hugs
from one to another given.
Standing, staring, watching,
Silently hoping, wishing
keeping out a wistful eye
Hoping someone shows up at my side
a loving hug to give.
I hang my head low
giving up
no hugs for me I know
a single tear slides down my cheek
and splatters on my shoe.
I wonder does that tear drop
feel as dejected as I do.
someone taps my shoulder
I look up in in total shock.
What's happening I wonder
fear I'm sure evident in my eyes
no one ever sees me
let alone go out of their way to greet me
An arm shoots out
I try and hide a cringe
half expecting a slap.
A loving arm
around me wraps
a warm embrace given
a smile slowly creeps
across my blushing face
A smile that hasn't been shown
in a year at least I know.
a hug that lest two seconds
meaning undefinable wealth to me.
Perhaps I'm not as invisible as I always seem.
Maybe someone saw
the tear slide down my face
a gave a hug that stirred my soul
The depths of meaning it had to me
no poem could ever show.
