Roy Pett Poet Blitz

Listen to poem:

Memories and Snow

many Christmas’s gone by
many beautiful memories
Memories of our children
Memories of giving and sharing
Sharing our love for each other 
Sharing affection for fellow men
Men and women rejoice nativity 
Men and women of honour
Honour the meaning of this time
Honour whose name we celebrate
Celebrate by helping others
Celebrate with love in your hearts
Hearts full of hope and generosity 
Hearts and minds join together
Together we enjoy festivities 
Together we can show support
Support for the unfortunate 
Support for the old
Old times remembered 
Old friends come to mind
Mind the chestnuts roasting 
Mind our children
Children are our future 
Children full of joy
Joy we show in life
Joy given by giving
Giving to our loved ones 
Giving sincere best wishes
Wishes for peace
Wishes of kindness
Kindness we receive 
Kindness we express
Express humanity 
Express your feelings
Feelings for each other 
Feelings of hopefulness
Hopefulness bestowed
Hopefulness in faith
Faith in our communities 
Faith in our thoughts
Thoughts of Christmas 
Thoughts of absent friends
Friends that remember us
Friends old and new
New festive decorations 
New pure white snow
Snow flakes produce magic
Snow creating a white Christmas
Christmas 
Magic.
