Day Christmas

Christmas Day

At last the day I've been waiting for, Christmas is here.
My family and their children bring with them good cheer.
The cards and the presents are placed where they should be.
Special kisses with affection this day are given to me.

I cuddle my grandchildren and feel their hearts beat with joy.
I feel they know that I have wrapped up their chosen toy.
To my sons and daughters I cry pleasurable tears.
It has been a long time since I've seen them, in fact many years.

We all sit round the table and feast upon the lands given wares.
Knowing we have each other forevermore, who cares!
Crackers are pulled, hats are worn and presents opened for all to
see.
Best of all, is the love and tenderness that they all show to me.

On this day we dedicate goodwill and love towards all men.
And knowing that these times will certainly mature again.
Now we raise our glasses and think of those laid to rest.
Also send our wishes to friends who are our very best.

This festive time is over, everyone must now depart.
My mind is full of happiness and there is love within my heart.
I must return to my normal life, these days I will remember.
For I have a loving family who will return again next December.
