SPIRIT OF THE SEASON

SPIRIT OF THE SEASON

A Poem by Marshal Gebbie

 
 

Whilst shopping in the mall last week
To fill the Christmas tree,
A derelict old soul held out
His grubby hand to me.
"Spare a copper for a cuppa mate?"
He asked with shining eyes,
And there was something in his manner
Which quite took me by surprise.
Delving deep into my pocket
A Christmas smile upon my face,
I came up with five bucks
Which made his world...a better place.
He thanked me so effusively
His face a wrinkled grin,
Then we went our separate ways
And felt the joy of Christmas

....
SING!


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY
Love from Janet & Marshal
