The Army without guns--A christmas Scene

Snowflakes are softly falling, on the old town
Christmas Carols, are playing all around
The old lady shakes her tambourine
Making a lovely winter scene
An old fashioned uniform looks so sweet
A Christmas vision we always greet
As she stands by her collection drum
Silently waiting for your gift to come
As each person drops a few dollars in
“God bless you sir, be saved from sin”
The Salvation Army is always there
When no one else does give a care
Clothing the children of the poor
Filling the bellies of the lost people
They don’t need a huge church steeple
They go to the places, Â where lie the needy
Not feed the coffers of the greedy
The god above knows what this means
Kindness to others, is one of his dreams
No question asked of creed or race
Just a kindly helping face
I have seen the riches abundant in Rome
But my heart goes out to those nearer to home
Who save the children, Â from hunger and want
Lifting them up, when the system wont
There’s no better helpers of their fellow man
Than the good hearted people of the Sally Ann
So I contribute and help them out
It will be well used, you can have no doubt
