WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES AROUND
A seasonal re-post of my attempt at a Christmas carol - now that Christmas Eve is upon us.
I'll let the content speak for itself and trust you can follow the words in the absence of a
displayed lyric.
Happy Christmas to all on WOL !

CHRISTMAS IN PAKISTAN
Do they know about Christmas in Pakistan?
Has anyone told the Taliban?
Those callous corrupters of the Koran
Who slaughter kids because they can.
"Suffer little children to come unto me" -
Christ's words resonate with minds that are free
But not with Hate on a killing spree
"Suffer...little children!" is Hate's decree.
Do they understand Christmas in Pakistan?

THOUGHTS AT CHRISTMAS - a re-post
Christmas is a time for remembering the past, especially family and friends who are no longer with us.
But humanity is blessed with eternal hope and optimism that serve to keep us going towards.....?????

How fitting now in deep December
When days are short and spirits low
That in our hearts we will remember
Those we knew who...

CHRISTMAS IN LONDON TOWN
Christmas can be many things to many people & its most feared aspect is probably the way
it can emphasise loneliness or want. My message is "be positive" & grateful for what you
have, whether it be the company of family, friends or just your own. God Bless Us All!

CHRISTMAS SNOW - 2013 and beyond
A re-post (slightly altered)...inspired by- and dedicated to - all who cannot be at home for a precious time of the year but who are always there in heart and mind.

CHRISTMAS SNOW
At home the Christmas snow is falling
I see it clear so far away
I hear the happy voices calling
See the children at their pla...

WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES AROUND
Posted again - a carol to help the festive mood.
"Lift up your voice - let all rejoice
And make a joyful sound
Cast off the care Mankind must bear...
When Christmas comes around"

Happy Christmas!

CHRISTMAS TREE
Is anything sadder than a Christmas tree
Abandoned by the bin bags?
Rejected with the empty cans
Discarded on cold stone flags.
Is anything sadder than a Christmas tree
Alone on a NewYear pavement?
It seems to say "Remember me -
And all the joy I once meant".
Is anything sadder than a Christmas tree
In a dust-cart - lost to sight?
It seems to...

THOUGHTS AT CHRISTMAS
This verse is on my profile page but I make no apologies for repeating it here at this time.
.................................................................................................................................................
How fitting now in deep December,
When days are short and life is low,
That in our hearts we will remember
Those we loved who had to go.

A CHRISTMAS DAY WALK IN DURLEY
Down Heathen Street I set my course
And onward past the inn;
My breast contained a happy heart,
My face a happy grin.
Gregory Lane came soon enough
And at a farmyard gate
A mongrel pup barked "hurry up",
Protecting his estate.
A pheasant blustered from the brush
And rose high in the air,
And in its rush a startled thrush
Made up a flustere...

WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES AROUND - a carol
This carol is dedicated to Peter Fender and his Philharmonia-Britannica Symphony Orchestra
(www.ph-br.co.uk) - a worthy charity that champions neglected British classical music and the
arts - often combining poetry and music..

A FESTIVE SEASON SUGGESTION
I have completed a Christmas carol and it occurs to me that it would be a fun thing if others
who contribute to WOL blogs could come up with their own. After all, it's coming up to THAT
time of year and perhaps we can add to the list of carols currently known and loved. I will
post my own - with a modest audio track - shortly. So...how about it, fellow weavers of
words - any ...
