~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Christmas end a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with your trust. Write a love letter. Share some treasure. Give a calm, soft answer. Keep a promise. Find the time. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand. Examine your demands of others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Appreciate others. Laugh a little. Then laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Gladden the heart of a child. Welcome a stranger. Take pleasure in the beauty and the wonder of earth and the universe Speak your love. Speak it again. Speak it yet Once again.

I love this shape poem you do them so well dear sara! This is gorgeous and this definitely delivers such important messages to the readers, Forgive be kind let go of suspicion and negativity much needed reminders as always. I especially loved the line “ Express your gratitude. Gladden the heart of a child. Welcome a stranger.“ always grateful for little things and sometimes we dont know what we are open to when welcoming a stranger that can be beautiful with so much to learn from. Pleasure readn

To let go and forgive…let go of grudges and bitterness, remember the laughter and love, especially during this giving season. Very nice in shape and sentiment! Merry Christmas, beautiful friend!
