I was a child, once



“I was a child, once”

"I was a child, once ..."
He said to me, 
“beautiful memories;

people ...
sometimes
remember me…”

I said, “I hear you.”
He said to me,
“the World needs to know that,

more than ever now;
like me, they too, 
were once a child 

with overflowing dreams
great expectations 
open wide to all, without fear

spread from my heart
to you and yours,
all that is in you now

in this very moment,
without any fear, 
all that is good cheer -

know this,

Christmas,
is most definitely
here..."

He said to me, 

"Believe."

Thanks Paula. I think Christmas this year, as every year should be, and at ALL times, be about the children...in our world - especially those doing it very tough in the Middle East (since Oct 7 '23, both Gaza and Israel) ... all those other countries at war (eg. Ukraine) ... and in general, all around the globe, children in many difficult cirmstances and trauma, some of us, could not even imagine let alone envisage or survive; irrespective of creed or religion. Christmas (in Christianity) commenced with the birth of a child, not a man - but a child. Children do need to believe in the "goodness" of others and that it does exist in others.
