On
Christmas
carols echoed in the hall
Merriment and celebratory mood
put us all in swinging gaiety with the singers
We sang with the choristers at the midnight mass with
clanging cymbals
Past sorrows were shut out
Our neighbourers exuberant faces
warmed our blood by forgiving and forgetting
the spears and barbs of the dead days as bygone stories
Zealously we were
spreading happiness of sharing
in the lonely world of the less fortunate
by becoming the forerunners of our benevolent Santa Claus
making a toy land of the homeless and joy land of our parched souls
We at sixteen each
held lit candles
decking our lives
with unfortunate
Carols and candles
chorused unknown
into the unknown
