The Ghost of Christmas This
The Ghost of Christmas This
by Rick Rucker
I have found a woman who,
With everything that she can do,
Has made me want to jump and sing,
Or do any other thing
That a young lover might try,
Seeing only blue in the sky.
Now, it is a fact
She has shown me what I lacked,
She brought me back from The Brink,
From her cup, I'll always drink.
She has taught me all of Love,
That not all of Heaven is Above.
I thought Love was through with me,
In Love again, I'd never be.
I guess, somehere, there is a Plan,
It didn't want a Lonely Man!
Christmas is a time for giving,
Singing, eating, hugging, living.
That I wish to do these things once more,
Has nearly knocked me to the floor.
The Ghost of Christmas Last came last night,
I must have looked an awful fright!
He showed to me how it had been,
And how it would have been again
Had I not met this Vision,
Who has prompted a Decision.
With whom I want to be a part,
'Til the years still my Heart!
Tonight, I expect to see
The Ghost of Christmas This with me
His image will cause no terror,
For she and I are a loving pair!
If Christmas Future plays the game,
The result will be the same!
Ever like this, with repeats,
In my Christmas stockings, only treats!
Merry Christmas, My Love!
