Bid Christmas Goodbye

There’ll be no pretty package under my tree Because that is not what’s important to me For there is little I may want or desire These are the gifts I wish to acquire… For peace in our hearts, and calmness of mind An end to the wars, for all of mankind The world is a package, let’s grab a bow And wrap it up tight, we can make it so. When we stand together, get the job done Hope can once again reign for everyone Feed the poor and hungry, each girl and boy A world that is healed, and now full of joy! Now that the world is wrapped up nice and neat I’ll bid Christmas goodbye, my wish now complete!

Peace in our hearts and calmness of mind is what it's all about. Age has it's beauty At 75 feel the same. Peace, Love and Joy

Thanks Doug, now that I have reached 73 my wants and needs are so different. I begin to think less of material things and more of spiritual things. Too bad I wasted so many years getting here, just glad I made it!
