Christmas is coming, and now it is here

With presents and wishes, to be of good cheer

Our loved ones are near us, it’s our reason to hope

All that God puts before us, and helps us to cope

Can we still see the stable, where a poor child was born

Are we blinded by glitter, on the bright Christmas morn

For many in this world, there’s no light in their lives

Christmas for some, others never see it arrive 

This time of the year, when our thoughts turn to joy

Many don’t have a home, like that small baby boy

So can we be generous, like those kings who were wise?

For those who have nothing, but tears in their eyes

The homeless, abused, downtrodden, and poor

Deserve better from us than a heart closed like a door

So choose your gifts wisely, give a thought for a few

Who have nothing but what’s given, from me and from you

Merry Christmas to those less fortunate
