A Shared Spirit
You don’t have to be just Christian, Islamic or Jewish
to share in the Christmas spirit.
As long as we respect each other’s views,
we can all feel connected at this time of year.
Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus,
a symbol of worship and faith for all mankind.
Jews celebrate Hanukkah, the miracle of lights,
when God saved the temple, and gave them hope.
The many sects and beliefs of the Islamic religion:
a religion of peace and the oldest on earth.
All faiths are based on this simple principle; basically,
the golden rule which in some way exists in them all.
With kindness and compassion for everyone you meet, always a helping hand for those in need.
A reverence for life, and all God’s creations,
each celebrating their faith in their own way.
Let us be kind to one another, not only in this season,
but for all eternity.
