The Joy This Christmas
The joy this Christmas will come from
The celebration of being alive,
And avoiding strife.
The joy this Christmas will come from,
The written word,
Not the presents scored.
The joy this Christmas will come from,
From bullets dodged,
Not complaints lodged.
The joy this Christmas will come from,
Playing the role of a kind stranger,
And looking out for a neighbour.
The joy this Christmas will come,
From listening for the patter of little feet,
And not the police on the beat.
The joy this Christmas will come from,
Playing music that is sweet,
And paying compliments to all in a tweet.
The joy this Christmas will come,
From pardons granted,
And new friendships started.
