Homeless for Christmas

Picture
The tinsel on the tree shimmers and shines
The festive season brings happy times
Sharing love with gifts and treats
Friends and families meet and greet

But beneath the glitz and festive cheer
There are those who long for someone dear
Their family or loved ones may be afar 
For them there is no guiding star

On the streets, in the doorways they make their bed
The frost and the cold fills their hearts with dread.
When you see them you get a lump in your throat 
So please spare a thought or a coin or a note

If their plight is self-inflicted we still need to care
As there’s probably a cause we may not be aware
For no matter what you think or what you might say
Christmas to them is just another cold and lonely day
