Christmas Eve Lights
By Robert (Bob) Moore © 2015
I used to love the Christmas lights, on the houses in our street
and when on every Christmas Eve, you’d wander round and meet
all your happy neighbours, at least this one night of the year
and they’d welcome you with mince pies, and other Christmas cheer
It mostly has all gone now, the streets dark on that night
a lot of houses that you pass, don’t even show a light
is it ‘cause the kids have all grown up, or people moved away
or is it that the spirits gone, and this is just another day
You think the children would all have learned, from what their parents did
and carry on tradition, and pass it to their kids
so lets put the joy, and put the light, back in to Christmas Eve
and have something to remember, long after we may leave
It may be a full hung tree, or even just one light
but it’s your way to celebrate, this very special night
and show your joy of Christmas, a time of special cheer
remembered all around the world, in countries far and near.
