Poem
Christmas day is coming soon I can hear the little drummer boys beat As I sleep under a stack of newspapers At my home here on the street I have no shade from the summer heat No shelter from a spring storm When autumn and winter roll around I have no blanket to keep me warm I have no one to talk to No doctor to keep me well My life is like the seventh circle Of an everlasting hell I have no feast on Thanksgiving On my birthday, I have no cake Most nights as I sleep in my concrete bed I pray and hope I won't wake I think about the man I used to be The one that died so long ago Now all that's left is this scruffy, filthy creature Who I don't even know Now that Christmas is here again I pray to the good Lord above For a gift that most don't appreciate Filled with lots of happiness and love I'm not talking about material things I can get by without any of that All I want is a house and a family Complete with a dog and a cat I wish every single Christmas season That my dear, sweet Lord would send me A beautiful family with warm, smiling faces Sipping hot chocolate around a Christmas tree We would have a most amazing feast A rack of lamb tied up with a bow Then we would all get bundled up And go caroling in the snow Oh, how glorious that would be To have a family and a few friends To have people who love me Even after this life ends God please hear my prayers And answer them if you can Just grant one simple Christmas wish To this old homeless man
