TOUCH HANDS -- anonymous

Ah friends, dear friends

as years grow on

and heads get grey

how fast the guests do go.

Touch hands.

Touch hands with those that stay.

strong hands to week

old hands to young

around the Christmas board.

Touch hands.

The false forget

the foe forgive.

for every guest will go

and every fire burn low

and empty cabin stand.

Forget!...Forgive!

for who may say that Christmas Day

may never come

to host or guest again.

Touch hands.
