Christmas Spirit

I must do something special this year, I thought, Above all my celebration a lot; Seeking a poor and making his/her life better? Or, finding an orphan child a permanent shelter...? Millions of lowly are living around me, Though mine is a nation considered to be free; Even sharing my single day's meal with them, Would make them feel like a costly gem; Poor are poor; are they born for this, yet? Is poverty a gift or a cause of an inhuman mindset? Well, what would one gain from discussing philosophy? What each one needs is filial theosophy; Gautam Buddha said once: when a thorn pokes some, Do not ask why and where and how; do the need-some; Mine, during this Christmas, is, perhaps a starting, A mission well-begun, I know often keeps wisdom imparting...! 12 December 2022 Christmas Spirit Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina McIntosh
