Between Christmas and New Year (poem)

27 Dec

Between Christmas and New Year

Between Christmas and New Year,
Let the joy and fun stay near,
Share this moment with kindness in your heart.
Whether it’s for the Lord’s birth,
Or a new year on the Earth,
Spend your time celebrating this new start.

Let this be a special week,
With good times for you to seek,
Just let those good memories come your way.
Go with a friend for a walk,
Or just sit somewhere to talk,
You don’t need a crowd to enjoy the day.

Perhaps split up what you do,
Giving some time just for you,
And giving time for friends here and there.
Catch up with your family,
Going there for cake and tea,
Your greatest gift will be the love you share.

The Meaning of Christmas (poem)

15 Nov

The Meaning of Christmas

What does Christmas really mean in this modern world today?
Has its meaning been lost amongst the glitter on display?
Or within the heart of Christmas, has nothing really changed?
Perhaps the meaning of Christmas has just been rearranged.

Christmas brings us joy and carries kindness within its arms,
A time when love and peace arrives, and when anger disarms.
A time of sharing with others your love that lives within,
Of reaching out with forgiveness, and welcoming hope in.

Let Christmas become a moment when peace gets shared around,
Where hate is swept away, so that happiness can be found.
Give love and hope this Christmas to others who are in need,
Let the meaning of Christmas be revealed in a kind deed.

Christmas is Running towards us (poem)

19 Oct

Christmas is Running towards us

Christmas is running towards us, but I am not ready yet!
I’ve not even started a list of the things I will forget.
It is still autumn! Those rumours of Christmas cannot be true,
But when I wander into shops, Christmas is clearly out on view.

When I look in a magazine, Christmas tips stare back at me,
What to buy, what to wear, and what I should serve for Christmas tea.
How to cook a Turkey, or to provide a tasty nut roast,
I abandon the magazine and eat a boring slice of toast.

The children are getting excited, even though it’s nowhere near,
But trying to explain that to them, will never work, I fear.
I’ll just have to try and get into the Christmas spirit myself,
Buy some Christmas sweets, open them, then hide them on the top shelf.

Christmas forgiveness, kindness & love (poem)

26 Oct

Christmas forgiveness, kindness, & love

Let Christmas be a time when forgiveness thrives,
A time when anger departs and peace arrives.
A time when hate is tossed aside into the bin,
A time when friendship between all can begin.

Let Christmas be a time when kindness is there,
When those you have forgotten, find that you care.
A time to remember the kindness you have known,
To say thank you for the kindness others have shown.

Let Christmas be a time when your love can be found,
Where your love is shared with your friends all around.
Where your love is extended to those that you meet,
Even to strangers that you past on the street.

Let Christmas be a time full of joy and good cheer,
Where on the road of life, peace and harmony steer.
From your heart, let the goodwill of Christmas begin,
And when Christmas departs, keep its goodwill within.

Let the spirit of Christmas enter within (poem)

17 Dec

Let the spirit of Christmas enter within

Let the spirit of Christmas enter within,
Let the joy and happiness inside begin.
Let it touch your heart upon this day,
Let its smiles and laughter guide your way.
Let it bring a spark of fun into your life,
Let it allow you to be released from strife.

The spirit of Christmas comes every year,
Bringing into our life good tidings and cheer.
A chance to relax in your life for a while,
A chance to replace those frowns with a smile.
A chance to let your goodness open its door,
A chance to let your kindness reach out once more.

Christmas is a time for giving and sharing,
Within your life, to be loving and caring.
Let kindness to others come with this season,
It’s not hard to do, you don’t need a reason.
Bring peace into your world then share it around,
Somewhere within you, those feelings will be found.

Let Christmas bring a change in you (poem)

14 Dec

Let Christmas bring a change in you

Let Christmas bring a change in you, if only for a while,
Let Christmas remove your frown, leaving behind a smile.
Let Christmas bring a light to places where darkness dwells,
Replace the sound of strife, with the sound of Christmas bells.

Let Christmas be a time where your joyfulness is found,
Where you retrieve your goodwill and share it all around.
Let Christmas stretch out your hand to those who are in need,
Amidst your busy life, find time to do a good deed.

Let Christmas be a celebration, a chance for fun,
Bringing happiness to all, under the Christmas sun.
In amongst the hustle of trying to reach Christmas Day,
Remember to pause a while, so you do not lose your way.

Let Christmas bring a chance to change the world that you know,
To both friends and strangers, let your kindness be on show.
Enjoy Christmas in the way that is the best for you,
Whether in groups or alone, find peace in what you do.
