CHRISTMAS
Are presents and feasts the reality?
As I open my eyes wide instead I see
So many children crying
So many children dying
Diseases that can’t be cured
Yet most of us filled with too much food
And Santa at our door
Laden with so many material gifts
More than our houses can store.
We have all been blessed with cars, homes
But tell me why there are still
So many houses devoid of love
So many people who’ve lost God above
So many waiting for love to arrive
So many struggling just to survive
In a world where people really do care
but feel helpless at the enormity of
a burden just too great to bear
Lets start right now in our own little way
Vowing to not pass another day
Until all the children of the world are fed
No more families with children dead
Where love resides in every place
Regardless of color, creed, or race
Let’s have talk of peace, not war and hate
Can we start right now, give caring and love
For tomorrow may just be too late.
