One never knows what fate
Life may have in store
What happiness we chance to find
Or the misery we endure
But knowing how much pleasure
One can bring with just a smile
A kindly word, a friendly joke
Which you've given all the while

However there are some
Whom with this would not agree
And yet what right have they
to judge, the likes of you and me
For all we try to do is please
And somehow ease the plight
of those around for whom we care
Yet all we do is lose the fight

A mother is so special
In every little way
The things she says
Just make you smile
With each passing day

She comforts you in sorrow
She shelters you from harm
She shares your joy
And quills your fears
And when angry makes you calm

Whenever you are lonely
She'll be there by your side
And this is why
We love her so
'Cos in life she is our guide

The night was cold
The air was crisp
And lambs were heard afar
The Shepherd sat
With crook in hand
And gazed upon a star

The star was bright
With outstretched rays
It shone with such intent
Then all around
Was heard a song
A heavenly choirs' lament

We bring glad tidings
Of great joy
And peace on earth to men
Goodwill henceforth
For born this day
A King in Bethlehem

The Shepherd stood
Then with a lamb
Tucked safe within his vest
Followed the star
O'er the land
Until it came to rest

And there behind
A stable door
Angel's sang with glory
How on that night
So crisp and cold
Began the Christmas Story

Pick me a flower
And give me your soul
Show me your spirit
But bury your gold
Never betray me
Nor show me your shame
Hold me so gently
And don't try to tame
Treat me like silk
Let me fly free
For only when I have these will you know me

I love the way you hold me in your gaze
The softness of your skin and gentle touch
Your body's warmth as in your arms I lay
Unspoken words within that say so much

My name upon your lips when first we kiss
I listen as your heart beats next to mine
To feel your gentle breath upon my skin
And knowing that our souls are now entwined.
