A Christmas Prayer

A Christmas smile A Christmas greeting These things, have bigger meaning They represent, warmth and hope For a day when our politicians Promote love, not war And respect, for all living things Animal, Human, Plant, big and small When there's no veterans, on our streets No needy child, ignored When protecting our wildlife from harm means more than a trophy, handbag or fur charm When there's no such horror as a dog-meat farm The day we truly understand the meaning of community a better brighter day, for all, there'll be Spread love this Christmas A smile, kind word, warm food, Your last fiver to the someone who needs it more, than you God bless this world, this Christmas May our joined spirit bring us hope to last a lifetime, of good cheer and an end to fear!
