Charley Street

Christmas is here
Lights fill the skies
Shops full of gifts
For people to buy
Trimmings and trinkets
Chocolates and sweets
Crowds singing carols
Out in the streets
Down charley street
Out in the cold
Beggars and buskers
A story unfolds
Blankets of cardboard
Protect from the snow
No presents to buy
Or gifts to bestow
Spirits still high
They warm round a fire
Out in the open
No tree to admire
No food round a table
No presents in piles
An alternative Christmas
Met with a smile
A single voice sounds
Singing a hymn
Out of the blue
Others join in
Passers by pause
At the beautiful sound
A chorus of carols
Attracting a crowd
Voices united
Soft and serene
Strangers and friends
A wonderful scene
In true Christmas spirit
Everyone cared
Gifts passed around
Food and drink shared
At the end of the evening
The crowd ventured home
Leaving behind
The folk with no home
Plenty of food
Blankets and sheets
Grateful for Christmas
On Charley street
