For Others

A bowl of soup, a piece of bread
the little girl bowed her head
in a thankful blessing received.

Life for so many is harsh
could you not share your hearts
and in this time of giving
spread the abundance in our living?

Warm coat and gloves to cover the bruise
with a blanket and a pair of shoes
given to the homeless that could be you.

So many others have needs
unspoken words and pleas
in the time of wealthy extravagance.

Share the season
 love most beautiful
is the reason.
