Love's Christmas

Bring in the tree, shake off its boughs, Discuss with friends the whys and hows Of existence as you trim away, Sharing together the dreams of the day. As you carry the children off to bed, Spare a thought for the Child In the cattle shed - For one good man, who wept and bled For the sake of a better world. So by all that's fine and sacred then, Have a care for the hearts of fellow men, For families, friends and all the others Since beneath the skin, we all are brothers. Deep in our souls we know this to be true, Be we Christian, Moslem, Buddhist, Jew. We can be our own saviours, If only we wish To mature our behaviors, Hoping only for this: To subdue the beasts that lie between us, To make it this once, Love's Christmas, For the sake of a better world.
