Christmas Gift
Christmas is coming,
the year is nearly done,
now’s the time to wonder
if life is really fun.
This year is at an end now,
its story almost told,
are you warm and cosy
now the weather’s getting cold.
Did you live this year in full
or did it slip away,
enjoying every minute
or dreading every day.
Lets hope the yuletide brings us
memories sweet and dear
and not the pain of living
through another dreadful year.
There’s those who want for nothing
and those with nought at all
but things don’t makes us happy
even if we owned it all.
It’s people make us happy
and it’s people make us sad,
not the things we live with
or the things we never had.
The lonely face a Christmas
of seeing other’s cheer
while drowning in the sorrow
of the time that they most fear.
The happy face a Christmas
of goodwill and joy for all
with love of friends and family
to lift them should they fall.
So spare at thought at Christmas
for those that are not glad
and try to understand the things
that make them feel so sad.
Be happy with your lot in life
and celebrate in style
but also please remember
that it’s people make you smile.
So if you wish to give a gift
that lasts the whole year through
don’t look around the shops all day
that’s not the thing to do.
For there’s a gift that free to give
that helps to soothe all pain,
bringing joy and happiness
in sunshine and in the rain.
At Christmas time a child was sent
to mankind from above
to teach the world that we must share
the perfect gift of Love.
