No-one knows who made the first move
Emotions bubbled over quite unexpectedly
Bitter enemies agreed to a common truce
The Christmas Spirit brought them unity
Tears flowed down each dirt caked face
Shouts of glee dismissed the mortar's fire
On that special day War was pushed aside
Men mingled freely through the barred wires
Christmas carols were song together joyously
Both sides played a great game of soccer ball
Small gifts were exchanged between all the men
An atmosphere of peace lasted many night falls
