Around All Our Tables

Santa Rhumour is sending sunbeams

to brighten up your day

I don't know if they'll melt the snow

but keep an eye out for they may.

 

And if perchance they make it easy

for you all to get safely home

then all will have more joy I'm sure

and far less to make them moan.

 

And for those who have no snow

may your problems be easy to beat

I wish you have a time of peace and love

with at least enough to drink and eat

 

All our many sisters and brothers

in every corner of this globe

deserve to feel their needs secure 

as they traverse down this life's road.

 

It matters not which tongue they speak

to express their care for kith and kin,

nor which faith they adhere to,

only that they come to put aside all sin.

 

For to be a part of this great family

requires we abandon strife and greed

so we can all coordinate our efforts

to eliminate grief and human need.

 

Yes for some it is time for Christmas,

while others know little of that

though all can share thanks for food

as around all our tables we are sat...
