`~> Christmas Day, Far Away -Acrostic form-

Thad Wilk

Celebrating 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's been extended,

   we won't return till spring.

Sorrow engulfs me at this moment,

   there's a feeling of despair.

Tears fall upon this foreign ground

   as I say a silent prayer.

Make this world a better place God

   not just for me, for everyone.

And give me the strength to carry

   on, there's so much to be done.

Sorry we can't celebrate with mirth

   this holy night of Jesus birth.

 

Dear God, let us all live together

   in peace and harmony on earth.

And let there be an end to all war

   that we could find a way.

Your power is divine let it shine

   upon us all, this Christmas day~
