This is a poem from Barbara, one of the Sound Cafe volunteers. Barbara has really burgeoned as a poet, and she wrote this Christmas poem during our last meeting.
Christmas
Christmas is a time
for giving and sharing
not putting yourself first
others before yourself
Not the cost
it’s the thought which counts
Thinking about those
Who are on the street
who have no roof over their head
who are sleeping on the streets
when nights are freezing long
and cold
Longing for the day to come
when hopefully the day is bright
and cheerful
those who have no family
only memories of Xmases past
May they be comforted
in their loss
by many good, kind and caring
Friends at this time
of the Year.
