On the eve of Christmas Day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the eve of Christmas Day
Now’s the time to celebrate

Then spare a moment now to pray
Have new thoughts that will take shape
Ethereal in a timeless way

Expect me to reiterate
Virtues come alive at Christmas
Entreating faith be at your gate

Onward with hope the peace be kept
Families at peace with food on the plate

Charity begins at home in every state.
Remember spare a prudent thought for friends
In passed injustices denied a place
So raise a glass on Christmas Eve
Thoughts of families of long ago
Mothers ,Fathers, Uncles Aunts
A cousin that has recently passed
Sadness’s banish from your temperance

Dedicate your Christian Holiday then
And carry to that next year cycle
Your love of Mankind .....that is vital.
