No Home This Christmas

by Cletus Hardiman - Sagittarius

When I was just a boy,
so carefree and gay,
Christmas was such a joy
I wished it'd come every day !

I had a home filled with love,
though my possessions were not too many,
I knew that God was up above,
and someday, I'd have plenty !

Well, I grew up "sort of" fast,
and acquired a fine new home,
I tried hard to make it last,
But, now I am all alone.

Though the years have come and gone
and my house is fit for a king.
I have no home this Christmas
But, only in my dream.

Reason for writing:

    It takes more than a fine house, fine grounds and gardens to make a home.....without someone to love you, and you love them in return.....no matter how beautiful your house is....it is still just a house......It is only a home when love enters in.........
