Poetry
Such a wonderful time of the year,
Family and friends bringing good cheer;
Coming just nearby or from afar,
Flown in by plane or driven by car.
Oh what joys that everyone brings,
The Christmas carols that each one sings;
Eating fruit cake and drinking eggnog,
By the fireplace a burning log.
But we remember those far away,
That can not be with us Christmas day;
Those in Afghanistan and Iraq,
And in hospitals that can not walk.
Likely for some it seems like the end,
Not near any family or friend;
And they are at the end of their rope,
For they have lost all possible hope.
Merely remember in time of prayer,
Having thoughts of them for God to share;
And conveying to them thoughts thereof,
Passing to them spiritual love.
