CHRISTMAS TIME

Christmas is a time for Love; a time for Joy and Peace;A time to trim the Christmas Tree and a time to stuff the geese.It's a time when we can come together, however far or near;To shed a little hope into a world of sorrow and fear. Yet Christmas could be all year 'round, if only we would tryTo gently wipe an old man's brow or soothe a baby's cry.If we could smile throughout the year as we do on Christmas Day;Just think what happiness we'd shed along life's weary way.To give a gift of Hope to one who otherwise has none;To be a Friend to somebody whom everyone else has shun.To be Forgiving of our faults, and of our sisters and our brothers;To Live in Peace and Harmony with ourselves and with each other.Ah, don't you see that Christmas is more than opening up the gifts;It's more than singing Christmas Carols and rolling in big snow drifts.It's a feeling that can stay with you throughout each day, all year;And all it takes is a loving heart.....and a sensitive little tear....
