A Christmas Romance
Julia lived in the Canadian mountains
divorced with two girls four and eight
struggling for work to make ends meet
keeping up mortgage payment sometimes late
At Christmas the snow was heavy
Julia delivered a few presents in her jeep
before getting home high in the mountains
as the snow was now very deep
At the local bank the manager was busy
looking over the mortgage bad payers file
one in particular had missed some payments
looking far worse than rest of the pile
Julia's account was top of the pile
so Gregory the manager took a trip
to give Julia a final demand
in such weather, was he taking a flip?
Eventually ploughing through the snow
Gregory gave Julia her letter of fate
but in driving away from Julia's
he lost control his car was in a state
Gregory had broken a few bones
in his leg now unable to walk
so Julia and her girls
helped him even put on his sock
With no electricity at hand
Gregory did all he could
for he saw their family spirit
showing to him all things good
As the snow storm came
indoors for days were they all
together they grew closer
Julia and Gregory received a love call
So once the snow cleared
Julia thought never again to see
as Gregory had to go back home
would this love match come to be?
One day Julia was tidying the garden
when Gregory turns up to spring a surprise
he had giving up his job
so together their love mutually would rise
