The Challenge of Holidays

The Challenge of Holidays Looking through the window I see the fallen snow Sparkling stars above us Shine a special glow Families inside the homes Are filled with joy and glee Making tasty dishes Decorating trees There’s a sense of comfort that permeates the earth Spreading warmth and kindness Season’s great re-birth But nearly not everyone Can take part in this affair For some there’s company and friendship For some, that feat is rare The holidays, they join us But there’s the great divide The ones without companionship They hide their pain inside They look upon festivities That this great season makes And wonder if they can ever Partake in what it creates I hope that all the lonesome ones will join in the great Plan ‘Cause God intended others to share all that they can And even if the forsaken can’t find another way They still can help another get through another day In this great time of wonder Let us remember us That have so very little And let’s renew our trust So everyone feels happy And no one feels alone And in God’s earthly paradise, we all can find a home
