Remember Them This Christmas Poem by Jayne Louise Davies

Be thankful for a Christmas, filled with warmth and love,
For there are many needy souls, who long for these above.
No cosy fire, to warm their feet,
But a cold and frosty pavement to lie upon, in the street,
A life of real poverty, most of us will never know,
For they, the most unfortunate ones, brave the Winter snow.
Be thankful for the things we have,
For they don't have these pleasures,
Remember them at Christmas,
Cold, hungry.
A life outside, whatever the weather.
