When thoughts for others blend with cheer,
A time of family, food and gifts,
While some can feel much more adrift,
A Christmas Carol, our annual play,
A tale of love with much to say,
We watch a man of great privilege,
Whose care for others he did forget,
His family and friends stage an intervention,
To assist him in his resurrection,
Four dear ghosts form his dream team,
So his lost soul can be redeemed,
Assisted by heroic mortals,
Who speak and dance and even chortle,
For even in the coldest snow,
The warmest hearts do beat and show,
That when we stand and sing along,
We show that we do all belong,
So join us friends for this old tale,
Of how gold goodness can prevail,
Please come and watch and join the throng,
Together we are holiday strong.
Admission is FREE but donations welcome. All proceeds go to the Alameda Food Bank.
