There once was a bear
A long time ago
He disliked his hair
So he let it grow

The smell of sawdust in my nose
My hands are dry and rough
I worked again with wood today
And couldn't get enough

So this was Christmas
And again it was green
All over the country
No snow to be seen

Was drifting slowly
To the land of dreams
When my sleep was stolen away

There are heroes flying daily
But you probably don't know
The heroes of the sky
They're not just there for show

This day we remember
Or some of us do
The birth of our saviour
He came for you too

Leisure, pleasure, money, gold
The greatest story ever told
Consumerism going wild
On the back of a slave child

You can get to know your Father
Who gave His life for you
Be with Him for all eternity
By saying: Yes I do

The consistent pace of time
Drives us every day
Because our time is limited
No matter what we say

Writing things on paper
Expressing thoughts and feels
The playground of a poet
The layers it reveals
