As planet Earth slid into December It must have collided with a thick net Of Christmas lights, I really remember, Along with a dense cloud of snow and wet Sugars that titilate with briefest taste And precipitate on the planet's face. The night's gloom glowing with rainbows to waste. Green and red greeting with a warm embrace. Brothers and mothers and friends I can't count. Stories of Jesus and things I enjoy. Laughter, flattery, songs and Christmas sounds. Tears of joy, from girls or maybe a boy. The filling of stomachs, feelings of home, And firm hugs from mum, so no one's alone.
