As Christmas is approaching and we gear up to lavish each other with gifts and enjoy an abundance of food, my thoughts go to those less fortunate among us. This is my Christmas wish.
And I wish I could
Give shelter to all the homeless
Comfort the sad
Be with the lonely
Share my dinner with the starving
Calm those in mental distress
Hug those no one else does
Heal the sick
Give a drink of water to the kids who, at best, get dirty water
Protect the vulnerable from violence of any kind

I wish I could
get the haves to give to the don’t haves
get the powerful to listen to the unheard
get soldiers to lay down their arms
get the climate to be temperate around the world
I wish I could
stop turning away when I know someone is suffering
make time for someone in need
be kind when I don’t feel like it
keep my temper when I’m cross
I wish I could
get God to make everything alright in mere seconds
So, what am I to do?
I guess I’m just gonna have to keep trying to do what I can
and hope and pray that love will prevail
Thank You,
I truly enjoyed your Christmas wish article, I am very much like you as well in wishing to help the ones less fortunate than myself.
I feel if we keep the less fortunate in our prayers this will help them stay motivated and not give up, God will hear our prayers and lead them to where they need to be for a better life Christmas is about giving and you have a heart full of Christmas.
Thanks Jeffrey, we’ll just have to pray for love and try and do our best, I guess. Wishing you and yours a very happy Christmas
