Christmas is the time to tell the folks in my life what they mean to me although I may not keep in touch as much as society´s rules observe you see
this does not signify that people far away lose any importance to me
it just means friends touch the heart

Christmas is the time to feel the joy of life we have on earth
to realise that Christ was sent to give such unity from his day of birth
those printed in the heart will never lose their worth
just enhance their value

Christmas is the time to share the happiness everyone can achieve
if they take the time to worship someone who´ll guide their lives for free recognising that we are all entwined make sense - you´ll agree
hope you enjoy your Christmas!!!!

Take three spoonfuls of humility
then add a pinch of pride
a cupful of your kindness
and shake it all inside
Loving spoonfuls of your tenderness
wrapped in a caring heart
throw in some salty teardrops
and let the mixing start

Let´s think of more ingredients to tantalise our tongues
like forgiveness, hugs for healing , kisses sealing, heartaches gone
Joined together we create a union that is sure to give us bliss
filling up those empty spaces which I know we will not miss

Divide each precious portion into tiny souls that wait
for the warmth that will surround them as they enter through the gate
They´ll swell to such proportions that you never would imagine
and taste so sweet it makes you weep to feel your joy a´catchin

Savour every mouthful taken
each day when you arise
share it with the folks around you
and you´ll see it in their eyes
They´ll appreciate the time you took
to produce this wondrous fare
relishing that you chose each one
and let them know you care

Betrayed – by the one I love
Haunted – by the dreams you gave
Distraught – cos I can´t believe
That you wanted so much to deceive

Where – have your feelings gone
Why – did your love move on
What – changed the hands of fate
Bringing our lives to date

Sad – as I must accept
Lonely – as I feel bereft
Tearful – nearly all the day
Since you left in your wake – decay!!

Below the crust of earth that´s baked
Beneath a smouldering sun
There lies a stunning, awesome sight
Great rocks are formed not seen at night
It´s only when mankind explores
These jewels are exposed

They´re formed by rain that falls from heights
And seeps through ground below
To form such beauty only seen
When man descends through gaps so lean
And finds these caverns hidden there
So we can ponder

Ethereal, wondrous you´re made to feel
As eyes digest the shapes unreal
Insignificant, humble, put in place
As nature outshines the human race
In sculpting rocks in forms unique
Displayed for us

Long stalactites cascade from roofs
To form their wondrous art
Their beauty is beheld by us
Mere mortals in this temporal world
Agape at sights which blow our minds
And touch our hearts

Love of the flesh without hearts being involved
Has never on earth any unions resolved
Gives a depth to our lives which can ne’er be erased
Providing succour to all who succumb to it´s embrace

It´s the reason we strive to make happy our mates
Meaning partners and family and friends who relate
To this feeling so strong it can make you feel weak
With emotions which threaten to lessen our sleep

The food for our spirits, the meaning of life
Without which we would shrivel and die deep inside
Our main sustenance when we are faced with our trials
Wraps us gently as arms round a motherless child

It´s the strength we rely on when around us is chaos
That produces in humans natural kindness and pathos
Raising hope for the future of life on our planet
With love as the basis for all who are in it
