A Story to Tell

It started as a shout out

To all those who could assist

Helping out others on Christmas Day

How could I resist

 

Not sure what to expect

Or what my role could be

I was soon put at ease

By our local council MP

 

He said just be around

And enjoy their conversation

Talk to them and listen

Let your heart have their donation

 

As I sat with a group on a table

All had an interesting story

Just wanting someone to listen

But not bask in their glory

 

One an old musician

And another one a writer

The friendship between us

Growing steadily tighter and tighter

 
A visit by a local star

Started the festive meeting

She sang a beautiful song

And wished us Christmas greeting

 

The atmosphere warm

As the wind blew outside

The local MP quite rightly

Stood their beaming with pride

 

Christmas day now over

The pensioners never alone

Community spirit alive and well

Loneliness finally flown

 

So the plans for next year

Well and truly under way

If you are free anytime then

Come join us on Christmas Day
