[hometext] => I have a lot to be thankful for, especially at this festive time.Even so, I will always try to remember those who are not so fortunate
[bodytext] => Tears for them at this time of year Those who stare through raindrops at the window for the ones they love Regretting careless cutting words, stumbled on in anger. Watch too the sombre souls in each grey winter morn Tending the grave of lost ones so lovingly Tears for them at this time of year Whose greatest gift is the purest water of life Hot sun stealing hope, still a prayer that the rains come Pity those whose cardboard home does not shun the cold Crouching in doorways in a blanket of white Tears for them at this time of year Who suffer so much pain in a hospital bed Knowing that soon from this earth they will fade Watch the sad faces of innocents who do not understand Santa Claus is poor today, he has no toys to give Tears for them at this time of year Who never notice or count the days False worlds of alcohol wash away memories, taking the good with the bad Think of those who anothers will controls Minds beaten to submit to thoughts not their own Tears for them not just this time of year For the suffering will not stop on a New Years Day Open your mind, let it open your heart. When the nights draw in let your love pour out For it never costs to care.
