christmas power



i am talking about greame thorne’s only TV performance, you see it was show

called christmas power at elizabeth bay and it was hosted by john bradley, you see john brought

10 young performers in to sing christmas carols to celebrate the reason for this day

and it was set out to be an annual TV event every christmas event, but it never made

it to the 2nd year, so here we go

john’  welcome to christmas power, a show to celebrate the magic of christmas and

i will bring in 10 performers to each sing their favourite christmas carols

first up here is kenny butler aged 11 singing silver bells

he sang it well and said at the end, how about that

john’  thanks kenny and let’s see how mrs santa claus is going, here is therse berlin with mrs santa claus

and therese sang that song with absolute grace and beauty and then john introduced, greame thorne (me)

and tim mcgrath, and they will sing silent night, and they blew away the crowd so beautifully and then

after that, the next singer was bert somers with i am sending a letter to santa claus, and every note was

played so great, and then john bradley sang jingle bells and rudolph the red nosed reindeer as santa came

out to say hello to everyone on tv australia’s first christmas show, and as santa left the stage, john brought

greg harrison out to sing hi ** silver lining and he sang that so great, he was asked by church groups to

do future shows and then john bradley brought daryl simmons comes on stage to sing away in a manger

and drove the crowd completely wild and got a standing ovation and then john bradley brought out harry stone

aged 12 and he sang we wish you a merry christmas and greame thorne(me) came out to sing good tidings we

bring to you and your king, and harry got audience participation as well as a standing ovation

john brought out the 8 th singer madelline rupert, aged 5, with white christmas, and yeah mate yeah

this was the greatest version ever, and maddeline was amazed with all the crowd really cheering her performance

and now john bradley brought out the 9th singer 10 year old jacob stone, brother of harry, and he sang

jolly old st nicholas, and everyone joined in singing and gave him a standing ovation, and then john

introduced molly ringwould to sing the christmas list, and this was a very moving performance and blew the

crowd away and at the end she got a standing ovation, and now, it was time to announce the christmas power award winner

and they rolled the drums, and therese berlin won the award, and they gave her a plaque and $500, and

this was the end of the first and last version of christmas power and there is no real proof of this show as the

tape was stolen and thrown out to sea, pretty much what happened to greame thorne (me), so there isn’t proof

but i remember this was an excellent previous life memory i have, and

Slowly gaining speed,
Falling so ever fast,
Rapidly losing everything i need,
The hole in my heart ever so vast
Wishing for one day to find the one i can call mine,
Forever wearing my heart on my sleeve,
Wondering why i cant turn these tears into wine, 
the one thing i hate is when they give up and leave.
To find the right one is my dream,
To meet someone who wont treat me like trash,
Someone who will make me so happy i could scream 
And someone who wont focus on my past.
 A gal that will be loyal and honest, 
With whom i can easily have a blast,
Me you constantly Astonish,
With how you dont care about my past
I no longer feel oddish,
I hope this will last.
Suddenly you got scared,
Because it became too real.
After my feelings that i bared,
Your heart i couldnt steal,
Tho my heart you definitely snared.
Our bond did unseal.
Hurting you I would have never dared
The pain i feel is all too unreal
Its all like a drama show thats aired
All the way down to how i feel.
Now as i move on to better things,
I pull back on this fishing reel
And i cut the puppet strings.
No longer do i let someone use my emotions against me.
No matter how much it stings.
I will never understand how this generation came to be,
So cold and too scared to express things. 
What happened to all the bravery?
All the compassion that being human brings? 
What happened to helping others?
Like those in times of need?
Like mother whose child she smothers,
So many of us and of our hearts that do bleed,
I am just one of many,
But i am also none,
Even when its rainy,
I still see what i have done.
Some good some bad,
Some ups and some downs,
Moments happy and memories sad,
Disappearing are these clowns, 
And replaced are demons of ironclad.
Forever haunting my memory, 
That one fateful day, 
The accident was awfully scary,
And how i lost him and you wasnt a fair way,
To make me a stronger person.
They try to make me obey,
But i am my very own version,
Of who i want to be eventually,
To keep living i have my own secret reason
And to change is up to no one but me.
After living a life so ******,
Its time to explore this city.
To attack my heart with such feelings, is awfully unfair.
To have to live with these unpleasant dealings, 
Makes me choke as if there is poisons in the air. 
I think im drowning, 
Slowly but surely,
Into the depths i am sinking,
My hair is getting curly,
As this constricting water soaks it.
Trying desperately to reach the surface,
I swim and my energy of im using every bit,
To once again see your beautiful face.
After i take every hit, 
**** making it foggy,
Making it like staring through a slit,
Wondering if theres still hope for me
Wandering through this wasteland 
Of broken dreams and promises,
Waiting for you to finally take my hand,
Please just make me feel like Ulysses.
Make me your hero, 
Knight in shining armor
Dont make me feel like a zero,
If you need me just holler.
Im always here for you
I truly do care after all I'm your most frequent caller
So please dont feel so blue
Just think of me
When you feel alone
Dig deep into your memory
Dont give up please come home
After years of constant strife 
I have overcome a lot and therse so much ive done.
Im still trying to figure out my life
But rn it feels like a loaded gun
Broken i am okay i am not.
I can no longer run.
I feel like ive been shot. 
Escalating the situation.
Feeling myself beginning to rot,
Coming across a revelation,
But not able to freely trot.
Accessing a new transaction 
Getting hit with even more fees.
The pain wont stop
It feels like being stung by bees
Forever on one leg i now hop.
