The Forgotten. ( Christmas Time)

 

The talk of choosing and buying presents for all the family.

The joy in the heart is very clear to see.

A time for all people to gather together.

And shower each other in love forever.

 

The time to forgive for what has gone by.

Putting all problems aside and agree to give it another try.

All parents and siblings to unite.

Under the dark and star lit Christmas night.

 

Everyone to descend upon the maternal home.

With joy and abandonment, they do roam.

Doing what comes naturally to them and society.

Living the dream without total honesty.

 

Gather round the table for the big feast.

Turkey, trimmings, bread sauce and all the treats.

Pull the crackers wish each other well.

Just for a moment someone has cast a magic spell.

 

Everything is as it is meant to be.

Caring loving funny and unusually friendly.

Retired to the television for the Queen's speech.

Listen carefully at what she tries to teach.

 

Peace and goodwill to all men and kind.

There cannot be anything further from your mind.

Because at that moment in time you are full of bliss.

Wrapped up in false happiness and your selfishness.

 

Why should you think of those on the outside.

When you have everything, you need on the inside.

Well do not take it for granted what you have today.

Someone could come along and soon take it all away.

 

Then you could be standing on the outside.

Praying you were standing on the inside.
