Help combat social isolation |
A world full of festive cheer Bright eyes begin to sparkle Turning on Christmas lights Screams so full of joy But what of the people Looking through the window Looking through the window Staring out at Christmas cheer Streets of happy people Their shiny presents sparkle Parties with laughter and joy Guided by the brightest lights What if we were guiding lights For those at the window Bringing love and joy As well as festive cheer Watch for the sparkle Changing lives of people At Christmas we rely on people To be our shinning lights What if there is no sparkle Looking through the window Missing out on festive cheer Just a wave brings utter joy Offerings of good will and joy Place love in the hearts of people Giving humankind a cheer Share out the festive lights For those at the window Where there may be no sparkle Imagine life with little sparkle Silence without the joy For those at the window Memories missing people A tree without lights Festivities deprived of cheer There is no sparkle without people Share the joy, be other’s lights Open the window and give them cheer Poetry form: Sestina Written for: In support of a charity’s Social Isolation campaign |
