This Christmas
This Christmas I swam in a sea of sweets and treats
While father called it the Great Depression
Yet as we watched the snowfall through the streets
We found peace without confession
This Christmas our gift was being all together
As the sirens sounded through the air
We prayed next year would finally be better
And together we beg the Lord to hear our prayer
This Christmas our lives are perfect and complete
As we finally welcome our baby boy
Yet gone are the days of sweets and treats
Now our children play with toys
This Christmas was one that bears a lonely pain
As we said goodbye to my father
Though his memory will forever reign
This Christmas felt so much harder
This Christmas I welcomed so many to my home
So many there both young and old
Yet this is a time that to me is unknown
But I’m still the same person, with this heart of gold.
Merry Christmas from all of us at Aria Care Home.
