A poem I wrote at Christmas time. It’s about the soldiers at war.

Soldiers away from home 

on this special day, 

Mum, Dads, wife’s and children

Missing their special man

wondering if he will come home

for this special day.

*

Christmas tree’s are put up

with sparkling baubles, tinsel, 

twinkling lights, with a fairy on top, 

and candy hanging from the tree.

*

Christmas eve approaches, 

family’s go to midnight mass, 

Remembering the real reason for Christmas 

and praying that their special man, 

will come home fit and healthy

For this Special day

*
