The year is almost over
oh where has it flown
fall leaves are now a cover
that carpets our lawn
Halloween is just a memory
Thanksgiving approaches next
Christmas will be upon us
With winters ice cold breath
What has this year brought us
what will the next one bring
what joys or sorrows await us
that fly on the new years wing
it really doesnt matter
what surprises will await
as long as there is love within
and we reject all hate
for every mans a brother
that goes for sisters too.
And every child is precious
and no matter who
or where they might be living,
or what languages they speak
they are all our children
every day of every week
so let this coming season
fill your life with cheer
just remember all the others
in this coming year
spread the joy of Christmas
to friends and strangers too
just keep the Light shining
with everything you do
And if you do this simple task
you probably will find
that your prayers are answered
because the Light has shined.
This is a simple little poem, reminding us that there is the Light within us all. We just have to find it because Light dispels all darkness and despair. With the Light comes hope, and it is time to bring hope back into this world. So as the Christmas season approaches, give a helping hand to a stranger. This simple deed will be returned to you three fold.
