Thoughts about this Christmas day |
Christmas Day A day of glitter and glitz, Festivities frolic in season, The warmth of the family spirit, Gathered in love for a reason. A tree in the home with lights, Tinsle and venerated decoration, Time honoured "treasurettes," Repeated use beyond recognition. Brightly bow tied packages, Christmas greetings traveling in cards, The hustle and bussle of traffic, Driving to see decorations in yards. My Christmas spirit Begins in earnest, When John and Yoko sing, With children in chorus: And so this is Christmas And what have you done Another year over A new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear ones The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Christmas (war is over...) For weak and for strong (...if you want it) The rich and the poor ones The road is so long And so happy Christmas For black and for white For the yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear So this is Christmas And what have you done War is over - if you want it So every year I think Of family members gone, Their spirits linger nearer, Keeping their living from harm. Relishing in the buffet Of ham, and beans, and yams, Ambrosia, and pumpkin cheese cake, Each year, a new precious memory we make. |
