It was a week of miracles Christmas til New Year's Day WWI was put on hold And Peace had final say! There they were in trenches Only feet apart German soldiers lifted song Then the Brits would start Singing Christmas carols They lit candles for to light The faces of the warriors Who wished to End war's night One by one they exited The trenches with hands raised Saying, "Don't shoot! We are unarmed!" Then more & more... unfazed! The shook hands, Told Christmas tales As every soldier sang! They knew it was a miracle And their laughter rang! And so for a wondrous week They shared this hearty mirth It's a tale of greatest hope... *Goodwill and Peace on Earth!* SøułSurvivør 12/26/2017

The Week The War Stood Still
It was a week of miracles Christmas til New Year's Day WWI was put on hold And Peace had final say! There they were in trenches Only feet apart German soldiers lifted song Then the Brits would start Singing Christmas carols They lit candles for to light The faces of the warriors Who wished to End war's night One by one they exited The trenches with hands raised Saying, "Don't shoot! We are unarmed!" Then more & more... unfazed! The shook hands, Told Christmas tales As every soldier sang! They knew it was a miracle And their laughter rang! And so for a wondrous week They shared this hearty mirth It's a tale of greatest hope... *Goodwill and Peace on Earth!* SøułSurvivør 12/26/2017
