Spare a Thought
Spare a thought at Christmas,
For all our service personnel,
As we're having fun,
They could be going through hell.
Maybe they're in nursing,
Looking after those we hold dear,
Instead of being with theirs,
Enjoying the Christmas Cheer.
Perhaps they're posted overseas,
In some war torn land,
But they should be at home,
Holding a loved one's hand.
Maybe they're fire fighters,
Always on stand by,
Wishing they were celebrating,
And eating a good mince pie.
Perhaps they're paramedics,
Always on high alert,
They want to be with their families,
Instead they're helping others, when they're hurt.
Maybe they're in the Police force,
Keeping the peace at this time of year,
They just want to be at home,
With those that they hold dear.
So please do spare a thought at Christmas,
For all our service personnel,
As we're having fun,
They could be going through hell.
