No Christmas for my children, No husband for my bed, No money for tomorrow, No place to lay my head, No tree with mounds of presents, No ornaments or lights, No smiles on Christmas morning, No feast on Christmas night, No toys to ease the boredom Of hours before closed doors, No family celebrations, No trips to crowded stores, No fireplace, no Santa, No games aglow with friends, No fire but feeble fury As Christmas slowly ends. For me I have no pity, My sorrow stronger proves, Because for my sweet children I've nothing but my love.
