This Christmas
This Christmas
I have a man, a tree.
I have awesome friends
that care about me.
This Christmas
I have a cat, Mum and Dad -
I have sisters and nephews
that make my heart glad.
This Christmas I can say
“life is great!”
I sit in love
and not fear or hate.
And every year
I’ve had prospects, a bed.
I’ve had nice clothes.
I’ve always been fed.
My life is and has been
lucky I know.
I’ve always had shelter;
a place to go.
I don’t take it for granted
but for those who feel
life has not been kind;
who’ve had a rough deal -
May the angels keep you
safe and warm,
bring you luck and shelter
from the storm.
May they turn your tides,
bring you joy and laughter
this Christmas and every
single day after.
