THE LITTLE CHRISTINGLE GIRL

by Paul Curtis  
12/01/2010 / Holidays

Oh sweet little Christingle girl
Your daddy is so very far away
"Bring my daddy safely home"
These are the words you pray

Oh sweet little Christingle girl
Daddy is away at the war
"Bring my daddy safely home
Bring him safely to our door"

Oh sweet little Christingle girl
How she misses daddy far away
How sad she is, he won't be home
To be with them on Christmas day

At Sunday school she made a christingle
She took an orange to represent the world.
And to symbolize the blood Christ shed
She took the red ribbon from her curls

Then she decorated four tooth picks
With fruits and sweets and marshmallows
These she placed in the four corners
To represented all the earthly souls

Then finally in the centre of the orange
She stood a single candle of purest white
And when lit, the candle represented
The world filled with Christ's loving light

The sweet little Christingle girl
Took it home with her that day
And stood it in the window
So daddy would find his way

And the sweet little Christingle girl
With her daddy so very far away
Knew that when he did come home
That would be their Christmas day

I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me.
