San Doria -Are you receiving me, San Doria? -You'll be in our hearts tonight And we wish the entire crew a very merry christmas.

 Christmas at sea - far away from home.
 No families and no heavenly snow.
 Christmas at sea - visions of home
 Sailing tonight all alone.

 Black is the night on the ocean

 Candlelight shines on the sea

 Everyone's full with emotion -
 At home
that's where they long to be.

 Mama is reading your letter

 Jingle-bells ring all night long.
 White are the trees and the meadows -
 Children are singing a song.

 Midnight is near and we're praying

 Everyone fights back his tears.
 Lord, bring them home
someone's saying

 And keep them safe while they are here

Beautiful words Sailor. I hope you had a lovely day. Your song reminds me of how young Jessica must be faring out at sea alone. S

Just came inside after watching a sunset filled with extraordinary colours, accompanied by the breeze playing in the leaves of my neighbour’s tree. I stayed till the sun had faded over the horizon, how beautiful it was to watch. Then I read your poem, how lovely it was to read your beautiful words Sailor. Your writing is a gift to us all.
