Touch hands, touch hands,
With those that stay.
Strong hands to weak,
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 cabin empty stand.
Forget, forgive,
For who may say that Christmas Day
May ever come to host or guest again.
Touch hands!
(William Henry Harrison Murray 1840-1904)
Merry Christmas to all those here
who help
who are helped
who hope
who struggle
who succeed
who fail
yet try again
I am the better because of you. And glad I am of you.
With love,
Giulia
