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!
