This Time of Year


People laughing full of Christmas cheer

Some people haunted by this time of year

The past hurts us more than we’ll ever know

Memories return we just can’t let them go

 

Family and friends who have sadly passed on

The feelinngs of love, they’re never gone

Wanting to hold them with a loving embrace

Oh to have that chance to stand face to face

 

People who are lonely fighting back the tears

Drowning their sorry thoughts in spirits and beers

That’s not the answer, the escape is short lived

They don’t want sympathy, just the time you can give

 

Children watching their friends with the best toys

Desperately searching inside for their broken joys

Parents over spending forcing themselves in debt

Not realising the bank will never forget

 

 

Our hearts go out to the Christmas advert on tv

Plucking at our heart strings hoping that we’d all agree

This year a penguin and a football match in no man’s land

The power of advertisements, the power of the brand

 

Christmas day, a full table with an empty chair

A place set to show how much we always care

A time for reflection, love and peace

A time for all the fighting finally to cease
