{JOURNAL WITH WDC give it 100 Remembering John.} |
15 Christmas The snow is in the ground And tree tops sparkle and white A new day has adorned Baby Jesus has just been born Hush my child do not fret Up in the sky A star Will guide man to where you are? Children's toys on the floor It's too cold to play outdoors Mama is in the kitchen Preparing the festive spread All her favourite recipes are in her head The Christmas tree in the corner Stands sparkly and looking grand These things we do on Christmas day to welcome Jesus into our homes to stay. *** 16 The Mill The old mill still stands Its propellers no longer go And all around the weeds do grow Orange sky up above The mill stands all aglow Lights up the history When once it was working long ago And the propellers round and round would go *** 17 Run Run Run Your Work Is Done A picture of beauty What a sight Standing tall Black as night A coat that shines And then he whines In the field the horse stands A powerful figure And looking grand Enjoy the freedom Your working days are over Your retirement just began Run run with all you might A powerful sight is the horse With his coat as black as night 18 The waterfall I walk along the path That leads to the waterfall In autumn with winds that gently blow The gentle breeze in your hair And branches on the trees will soon be bare The colours of nature all around And the beauty is magnified With the roaring sound As the water falls over rock on to the ground’s *** 19 I remember I wander by the old oak tree Me my husband and me and family I see your initials on the tree And I remember When it was just you and me On the branch, we would swing Over the river And sometimes fall in The memories come flashing back and reality stop me in my tracks I have a husband You have a wife But as I pass the old Oak tree A little spark returns to me. |
