Christmas Time

A time to love*
A time to care
A time to give
A time to share

To think of the needy
To think of the poor
To think of the homeless
To think of the cure   

To hug the lonely  
To attend the sick
To cheer the hopeless
To cuddle the meek

The Christ is coming
The Christ is born
Our hearts we open
Our souls we adorn!

Hello Demetrios! Very beautiful glowing silver pen here Demetrios. Truly enjoyed your wonderful Christmas song my dear friend. A solid 7 for you! You're so kind and inspiring to so many Christians like myself about caring and compassion to other less fortunate souls out there which are in the millions am sure. Wish you a very Merry Christmas and your family! Have a wonderful weekend! :) Love and hugs! xxx D.

Thank you so much, Jan, for your kindness and your uplifting comment! Since almost everyone focuses on the festivities I thought it my moral obligation to focus on the real meaning of Christmas: Love and the Christ's message! I am grateful you comment again for my poems was deleted!
