Christmas Morning


every year i take a ride
Christmas morning, my tear i hide
i call your name and thank you for
my life and loves to not ask for more

i pray for peace and pray for calm
in lives that arent as blessed
i watch outside as i pass
and smile for the rest

still something isnt right
but who am I to say
its Christmas morning
for you i pray

you who have not
and those of you that do
i pray for help to make something good
remembering, asking about that miracle for you

i think of years past
that one Christmas on my mind
walking into the front
a smile forever i did find

i want to pass it on
to those who havent seen
what Christmas means to me
how blessed my life has been

no i do not have it all
and now i still wait for it to show
but i have what i need to share
for others the joy to know

it is meerly a thought
simply to give without regret
smile just a little more
being sure that was one of the gifts sent
