CHRISTMAS IN MIND
The following lines are adapted from a seasonal song lyric of mine. Be of good cheer and be happy!
Lift up your voice
Let all rejoice
And make a joyful sound
Cast off the care
Most folk must bear
When Christmas comes around.
A time of cheer
With loved ones near
To banish grief and tears
With peals of laughter
Ever after
Echoing down the years.
Be grateful for
The years before
The years yet to be
Each bright new dawn
Each new life born
This precious world to see.
Lift up your eyes
To seek the skies
With stars forever crowned
That we might see
Eternity
When Christmas comes around.

Thanks Ken. Likewise. It has the real advantage of
actually bringing about feelings of good will and charity to
one's fellows. And the pleasure of watching the youngest
among us discover wonder and joy for themselves...as
we did before them. Take what you will from the occasion,
it is that rich in its range of what is on offer.
