ANOTHER CHRISTMAS CAROL Now I have not been visited yet by the ghost of Christmas Past, and the ghost of Christmas Present I'm sure will be a jolly blast! As for the ghost of Christmas Future, A sad thought comes to mind - With all the crazy happenings, Will we leave it all behind? There's more talk of corruption and talk of the ongoing war; It makes one stop and think - "What are we fighting for?" I'd like to think that Peace on Earth is quite attainable, and yet - We don't know what the future holds but by golly, I can always bet That a little gift of kindness Can change our hearts and then We may be able to really enjoy The "silly" things again. Like finding the perfect tree and bringing it back home - Decorating with lights of red and green and our family coming home. Listening to the songs of carolers singing of faith, hope and cheer - No, I don't need the ghosts at all! My Christmas spirit is already here! As long as we choose to believe that God is watching from above, Each year our holidays will be good when we remember - how to LOVE! Countrymom 12/3/04 Merry Christmas to All! |
