Spare a thought As we celebrate this Christmas time

With fine fayre a plenty

Spare a thought for all of those,

Whose tummies will be empty.

They don't ask for presents

Or things so fine and grand,

All they ask is a decent meal

And a friendly helping hand.

Christmas is for all mankind

To care and share with others,

With mums and dads and sisters

And even with your brothers.

So as around your table you sit

With fine fayre a plenty,

Just spare a thought this Christmas time

For those whose tummies are empty.

With your presents and your crackers

And your glass of sweet white wine,

DON'T FORGET the hungry

As you celebrate Christmas time. By Dawn Couperthwaite.
