A Christmas Carol

If only If only I could Walk back in time Jesus alive on the cross I cried at this great loss As church bells are ringing Sat In the last pew singing Just a child you see Safe and sound In a home with joyous Christmas sounds Santa always close Christmas my happiness ghost Tidings and cheer Family surrounded me Took away all my fears Aunts and uncles so boisterous Plum pudding and hard sauce with Irish Cream Their laughter invades my midnight dreams Us children in awe and anticipation Christmas a miracle lighted with elation Looking out frosted windows Snowmen begging to be born A time I miss, feeling so forlorn Dancing with ghosts of the past How could a child ever know This happiness never lasts
