Nov 2014
Albino frost upon the floor
Lips are chapped and hands are sore
A Christmas spirit arises above
People embrace Christmas love

A time for play and toys galore
Wrapping paper ruined, torn
The familiar thought of Santa’s elves
Stacking gifts upon the shelves

But darkness leaps from up top
Putting some spirits to a stop
Bringing some close to tears
And showing them their worst fears

Death counts his heavy toll
And ventures through the deathly cold
Claiming victims in the night
And filling injured with pale fright

But should we fret or should we excite
Should we go dark or go light
Neither is the simple word
We should give to human and bird

We should help the ones that cry
We should love before we die
And we shall make the world unite
And spread the warming Christmas light

So now farewell, ciao, goodbye
Remember those who live and cry
So off you go, all from here
Merry Christmas and happy New Year
I hope you enjoy
