The Unsung Heroes of Christmas

The Unsung Heroes of Christmas

A Poem by Bo Lanier

Well it just breaks my heart

That you can't be home for

Christmas...nobody should have

To work on Christmas day but

Not everybody sees it my way

People make excuses and say

It’s not all about the money...yeah

Right you think you're trying to fool

So for those of you that has to

Work on Christmas day this song

Is for you...the true hero of

Christmas, merry, merry Christmas

To you...

All the Doctors, the Nurses and

Pharmacists, all you truck drivers

Waiters and firemen, all of you

Retail employees, the security guards

And policemen and a special thanks

For all of you in Afghanistan...well you

Are the true heroes of Christmas this is

Clear but we still wish you were here

Home where you belong...

Oh don't you know it just breaks my heart

That the world can't stop for Jesus for just

One day out of the year well it seems like

A sin but the world is full of scrooges

Much to chagrin...

Still some make excuses and say it's

Not all about the money...yeah right you can't

Fool me in the end so this song goes out

To the true UNSUNG HEROES OF

CHRISTMAS oh bless your heart and

Soul, I just want to say hey I appreciate

More than you'll ever know and a very,

Merry, merry Christmas to you all of you

UNSUNG HEROES OF CHRISTMAS!
