Somewhere….

Somewhere snow is falling, as families gather ‘round,

happy voices calling, hear their joyful sound.

Somewhere a fire crackles, warming up a heart,

casting off the shackles, no more to be apart.

Somewhere an infant lies, beneath a Christmas tree,

got her Grandma’s eyes, that smile she got from me!

Somewhere there are packages, wrapped in paper bright,

bought with workman’s wages, hoping that it’s right.

Somewhere children laugh and sing, while playing in the snow,

if the dinner bell should ring, it is time to go.

Somewhere a weary soldier, boards a late-night flight,

finally out of danger, he’ll make it home tonight.

Somewhere hats and coats, are piled on a bed,

there are many throats, waiting to be fed.

Somewhere a star will beckon, for he who chose to roam,

perhaps tonight we reckon, he will make it home.

Somewhere I have tossed, some verses from this poem.

It’s good that they are lost, they brought the darkness home.

Somewhere it is Christmas, may hope and joy renew,

A time for joy to buoy us, the Lord will get us through.

LDT Christmas ‘21

The lost verses:

Somewhere….

Somewhere there’s a chair, for one who isn’t there,

we’ll offer up a prayer, from those of us who care.

Somewhere a nurse is crying, she’s lost another one,

there ain’t no lack of trying, with everything she’s done.
