Alone on Christmas
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
There is no other other holiday
Like Christmas, I am sure.
With kids it's magic all the way
Including snow so pure!
For grownups it's the memories
Of childhood years no more
With parents who would try to please
With gifts unlike before.
But there are some who celebrate
The birth of Christ alone
And are not filled with fear or hate.
The love of Christ is known!
