Silent Night ? by Ann Mills'Tis the day we call Christmas
and all through the digs
Many creatures are stirring
but none are my kids
Son, he is working
Daughter with Dad
Me at my parent's
'cause I don't have a pad
I remember the yesteryears
the days of old
when we were together
more precious than gold
It feels awefully lonely
Though family is near
Though love seems abounding
I miss those most dear
Oh silent night
Oh lonely night
I'll look to the future
When hope burns bright
