A Christmas Appeal

The Christmas season in truly under way

 But for some it’s surviving just another day

No family around to feel loved and proud

Just existing as you are the only one in the crowd

 

A heartbreaking story about a child with no toy

For them there will be no Christmas joy

No talk of spotting Santa throughout the night

Instead huddling in the corner around a dim candle light

 

The old lady at the checkout with a minute turkey crown

Searching in her purse as she is still one pound down

Quietly whispering she’ll have to put it back

Slowly shuffling away with no food in her sack

 

The parents struggling under the Christmas stress

No presents bought and no tree to dress

A unethical loan company there only way out

Unable to cope they just scream and shout

 

I urge every one of us to think of others and share

And show a generation that we really do care

Set an extra place for that special Christmas meal

Or donate some food for this heartfelt appeal
