WARUNFARE

As 2024 approaches Do we face it with dread and fear? What will be the outcome, Of the last horrendous year. In 2023, how long will we count the cost? Of the carnage, wars have caused. And of the dear ones lost. The battles have been endless, Not only on the ground. Anger and dissension, Degradation and death abound. Unnecessary hardship, How do people cope? Their grit and bravery, And their faith gives them hope. Now that Christmas is very near And a time of good cheer, Kissing under the mistletoe, As we feast on food, wine and beer. It should be a time of happiness, Joy and jubilation. Not only for some of us But for all of civilisation. As Christmas time is approaching, I would very sincerely love to say, A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, May it bring joy and happiness your way. It seems we need a miracle, To put this troubled World to rights If we show some grit, bravery And faith we might.
