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.
