When Christmas comes around this year,
Whose voice is it you long to hear?
A parent, brother, sister, spouse,
No longer here, they’re in God’s house.
Fight loneliness, push back the gloom,
May friends and love light up your room.
May memories of Christmas past
Embrace your heart, love’s shadow cast.
Don’t let the present slip away.
Find ways to show your love today,
A simple smile, a word or deed,
Reach out to touch someone in need.
Each day from God’s a precious gift.
Help other souls who need a lift.
