A Time for Love

 

Christmas is a time for Love;
a time for Joy and Peace;
A time to trim the Christmas Tree
and a time to stuff the geese.

It's a time when we can come together,
however far or near;
To shed a little hope into a world
of sorrow and fear.

Yet Christmas could be all year 'round,
if only we would try
To gently wipe an old man's brow
or soothe a baby's cry.

If we could smile throughout the year
as we do on Christmas Day;
Just think what happiness we'd shed
along life's weary way.

To give a gift of Hope
to one who otherwise has none;
To be a Friend to somebody
whom everyone else has shun.

To be Forgiving of our faults,
and of our sisters and our brothers;
To Live in Peace and Harmony
with ourselves and with each other.

Ah, don't you see that Christmas
is more than opening up the gifts;
It's more than singing Christmas Carols
and rolling in big snow drifts.

It's a feeling that can stay with you
throughout each day, all year;
And all it takes is a loving heart
and a sensitive little tear...
