Message from a Friend on Christmas Eve

The scent of Christmas is still in the air
And the new year is just around the corner.

Why don't you hang around for a while
And give me a chance to make you smile.

I know life hasn't been kind
But it's not like that all the time.

Just remember you have so much else to be happy for
Including the future and what it holds instore.

So let's see you get rid of that frown
There's no need to keep your spirit down.

Tears may have rolled down your cheeks yesterday
Here's to keeping your beautiful brown eyes dry today.
