A Christmas Message

 


A Christmas Message

She sends a message to me from above:

“The chair that you sit in is solely for hugs

The baby’s asleep, it won’t travel far

Be good to yourself. Love who you are.


You can’t do without the love that’s within.”

The kindness of strangers never grows thin

“You’re not alone; I’ve travelled this road,

The journey’s the story that never gets old.”


Taken from the album ‘A Johny Nocash Christmas’, which is free to download on Bandcamp, and available on most streaming platforms, ‘A Christmas Message’ was inspired by a true story told by a young, tired mother about a conversation she had with an elderly neighbour living in the flat above. I hope I have done it justice.
