Christmas War Poem by jayne harris

there should be no fear, at this time of year
this whole world needs to convert
stop innocent people getting hurt
just for what its worth
we all need peace on earth
i want my daddy home on his local turf

why are we at war fighting over keeping the peace oil and land
at this time of year we should call a truce shake each others hand
the children are the future there all coming of age
troops need to engage and stop all this rage
come on lets make a stand come on lets shake a hand come on let draw the line
lets all unite this christmas time

oh my dear daddy why do we have to fight
i miss you that much i fall to sleep in tears at night
hoping that your safe and not stepped on a mine
hoping your not calling my name burried under the dirt and grime
i just want you to be safe hear at home with me
hanging the decks putting tinsel on the tree

why are we at war fighting over keeping the peace oil and land
at this time of year we should call a truce shake each others hand
the children are the future there all coming of age
troops need to engage and stop all this rage
come on lets make a stand come on lets shake a hand come on let draw the line
lets all unite this christmas time

i want you here beside me as i unwrap my toys
ioften think id like to be like the other girls and boys
there daddys are right there it really feels unfair
the war hurt you but hurt my a whole lot more
i cherish the thought of you appearing at my door

why are we at war fighting over keeping the peace oil and land
at this time of year we should call a truce shake each others hand
the children are the future there all coming of age
troops need to engage and stop all this rage
come on lets make a stand come on lets shake a hand come on let draw the line
lets all unite this christmas time
why are we at war fighting over keeping the peace oil and land
at this time of year we should call a truce shake each others hand
the children are the future there all coming of age
troops need to engage and stop all this rage
come on lets make a stand come on lets shake a hand come on let draw the line
lets all unite this christmas time
