LIFE WITHOUT PREJUDICE by J Green of Derby Embrace life in every way Because our Lord is here to stay It does not matter if you’re transgende­r, lesbian, bisexual or gay

Our Lord will love you in any way God bless us for who we are, no violence, no hatred, no racism, no bombs, no war

Let us live our lives for who we feel for otherwise Mother Nature will bring this planet to the floor God put us creatures on this Earth to live, cherish and care for each other

Our mums, dads and siblings, do we care anymore for these things? Wherever we’ve been, whatever we’ve seen

Whatever we’ve said, there is only our Lord to keep in our head

If this world came to an end What would we do without family and friends?

That can keep us and our planet clean

Why should our lives come to this when we can save man, women, animals and our kids?

The Lord will decide and then it will be genocide

So let’s look after our world, because I swear our Lord will keep his word

Don’t call fat, don’t call us thin and nobody should judge us by the colour of our skin.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING by Anne Thompson, of Mickleover Christmas is coming as we all know

Santa will be dropping down the chimney pot, making a mess with soot on the floor Reindeers chomping on carrots galore

Carol singers singing at our front door

I, open the door to listen to them sing, oh my I forgot the mince pies,

I hope they don’t go hungry at this time of night

Tomorrow will be shopping at your risk, can’t find anywhere to park, queues too long think I’ll give it a miss

Think I might stay at home at least I can use my phone, to order what I want

Just need it to arrive on time, thank goodness for our Royal Mail to deliver on time
