Christmas Hope

Christmas Hope by Bob Moore I saw him standing on the corner, just the other day I knew it really could not be, for he has gone away the memories though are strong of him, at this time of the year and as they flooded over me, I saw my father shed a tear And then I saw the others, who’s memories I held dear Mam, and family members, who have left, cross many a year they were all standing there, just behind my dad to see their faces once again, I felt both joy and sad And now its Christmas morning, I know that they are here I know that they are watching me, at this time of the year the birthday of the Christ, our Lord, has not meant much to me but as each year goes passing by, there’s hope that it could be.
