Three Ghosts

Three Ghosts

Midnight strikes

Three ghosts appear

Christmas past

Christmas near

Christmas eve

Some years from now

I don’t know why

I don’t know how

This night foretold

I didn’t believe

The dead that lives

I can’t conceive

The ghost that’s first

Fond memories brings

Of a family party

In full swing

A time forgot

For many years

As I enjoy

Ghost two appears

With him a sadness

Here he shows

No family friends

Just me alone

Behind closed doors

Hid away

That’s where I’ll be

This Christmas day

Here’s ghost three

Dark and Grim

Frightening news

He brings with him

If I don’t change

My Evil ways

A lonely death

Will come my way

Midnight strikes

I stretch and yawn

The ghosts all gone

A new day dawns

I vow to change

Mend my ways

Embracing life

This Christmas day
