Competition Entry

Each Christmas I remember
The ones of long ago;
I see our mantelpiece adorned…

I’d like a stocking made for a giant,
And a meeting house full of toys…

I think of myself as a beautiful girl,
But oh no according to Bradon Seagirs,
I’m ugly,
It is Christmas Eve people,
You never find your true love,
Even if she is so close,
She is never,
According to this boy I’m outstandingly bad at art,
You can never get your true love,
I still can’t believe that it’s Christmas Eve,
It was time to go home now,
On my way back,
I crashed into a boy,
I couldn’t help myself for recognizing this boy,
It couldn’t,
No it couldn’t,
No it wouldn’t,
Be Ethan Malik,
My old boy friend,
No it couldn’t,
I doubted myself again,
I felt like I had my true love,
No,
That doesn’t happen,
No-one finds their true love,
No,
I felt it,
And I knew it,
I had found my own true love,
No,
That doesn’t happen,
I had found my Christmas love,
Suddenly,
No it was 9:30,
I was out 2 hours late,
I ran back to my house,
Stopped at the front door,
I didn’t feel like it was a good time to go in,
Something bad was going on,
But it can’t be bad,
It is Christmas Eve,
Nothing goes wrong,
I stood still for about half an hour,
Outside the front door,
Whatever was going on in there was bad,
Really bad,
That was it,
I went in,
“Mum! What happened?”,
She was no longer alive,
She had died,
She had died,
I sank to the floor,
No,
It is Christmas Eve,
I was all alone for 1 hour,
Then I called the ambulance,
I started to cry,
It was Christmas Eve and my Mum had died,
I was alone for Christmas,
Nothing like that had happened to me,
Or my family before,
It turns out Mum had cancer,
I started to cry again,
Then,
I was no longer alive,
I had died,
I had died,

in 1914 there was an historical event,
On 25th of December,
This was just the start of massive argument,
Which was what we call a Christmas truce,
It happened 100 years ago,
But many of us would think this was a normal Christmas
but it wasn’t…

On Christmas Eve,
I was walking home from the shops,
And I saw my true love,
I dropped my bags of food,
Staring at this boy,
I tried my best to look nice,
But guess what? He just turned away!
I bet he never saw a girl so sweet!
Forgetting that I had dropped my shopping I ran away,
Mum came in saying, ” It’s Christmas Eve!.. and where is your shopping?”
I want straight up to my room for my phone,
Yes I know Mum that it’s Christmas Eve,
Yes I know,
But I wasn’t in the mood for Christmas..

Christmas is here,
Here it is Christmas,
Real Christmas trees and some fake,
Is it really Christmas?
Snow is falling,
Time to play,
Make new friends,
After Christmas children still play,
See Santa in the sky.

Trees are bright,
Rehearsals for Christmas plays,
Ending of school,
Ending of school.

Runner Up

Look up there, in the sky,
That beacon of light, way up high.

The Christmas Star, a symbol of love,
Proof of Jesus, who sits up above.

It led the Wise-Men to where he lay,
To the birth of Christmas day.

It glows up there all night long,
While the angels sing their heavenly song.

With the world; share your light,
Is it not a beautiful sight?

Some believe it to be a regular star,
The epic light that stays afar.

I know that God is real,
He sent that star to reveal

The location of Jesus in a manger,
To all, from known to stranger.

It was used to guide Kings and Shepherds to the one and only,
While it’s up there you’ll never be lonely.

If you are longing for a friend, look up there in the sky,
To that beacon of light, way up high.

It was Christmas Eve,
I went to bed excited,
The next morning,
I went downstairs,
To see presents everywhere,
I opened the biggest one first,
I love Christmas.
