~> Christmas Day, Far Away - form Acrostic -

Christmas has been put on delay

   for us it\'s not a day of cheer.

Having Christmas here is not the same

   when our families aren\'t near.

Returning to our homes and loved ones 

   would have meant everything.

Instead our tour has been extended

   we won\'t return home till spring.

Sorrow now engulfs me at this moment

   there\'s a feeling of despair.

Tears fall down upon this foreign land 

   as I kneel in silent prayer.

Make this world a better place God;

   not just for me, for everyone.

And give me strength to carry on

   there\'s so much to be done.

Sorry we can\'t celebrate with mirth

   on this holy night of Jesus birth.

 

Dear God, I wish we could all could live

   together in peace and harmony on earth

And that there was an end to all war,

   that we would find a way.

Your power is divine; let your love shine,

   on us all this Christmas day~
