Christmas Cheer

by Bud Lemire on Dec 18, 2007

It’s Christmas at the Tower, hallways are lit
In the lobby all the residents sit
They talk about the present, and talk about the past
The ever changing world, where people never last
Many people have passed through the doors
They lived here before, on many different floors

Some say late at night, around midnight here
Former residents come back, to spread Christmas Cheer
They pass through the lobby, and down the hall
Moving the pictures, that are there on the wall
It’s no illusion, they really are here
Not to scare you, but to make one thing clear

You can’t hide from Christmas, wherever you go
So there are some things, that you should know
It’s the time of the year, you should be thankful for living
For the love that you share, is the best gift to be giving
The love from inside, can give someone a lift
And that can be the most powerful gift

Spreading the cheer, is what it’s all about
Living the present, never going without
These spirits, go to each floor spreading the Christmas cheer
Never let them catch you, shedding a tear
For they will be watching, and waiting for you
They’ll embrace you with love, and other things too

In one room they stop, Christmas Bells are ringing
And a voice can be heard to be singing
“I’m having a Harbor Tower Christmas tonight”
“The tree all lit with the most beautiful light”
“All different colors, shine all around”
“This is where God’s love can be found”
