Spare a Thought This Christmas
Have you ever noticed how
Christmas never completely fades
there are reminders with us
through out all of the year
Just enough of a sense of spirit
to keep our hopes up for the one coming
long before the winter snows come
we are already planning ahead
August is the time to make
Christmas cakes and pudding
then seal away and allow them
to slowly mature and ripen
Picking out a Christmas tree
lugging it home and decorating
adorning the home with streamers
cards packed on the mantle
The joy of friends and family
when you all sit down to dine
the merriment fills the air
and good will freely flows
This Christmas as you recline
with a glass in your hand
pause and remember that today
is really about a special birth
I fear these years he is forgotten
the son who came to save our world
he gave his life so we may live
this Christmas spare Jesus a thought
