The Dream Message

I had a dream
Strange though it seemed
The dark clouds rolled
I was afraid I was not bold
Then appeared a light
Within my vision within my sight
I was seated and across from me was God
I wondered what I was supposed to do
He took my hands  in His
He did not speak a word
His thoughts became my thoughts
He said he had three wishes
I wondered what they could be
For he didn't speak you see
He tranfered the words within the mind
I was trying to digest this at the time
First, he said we should love one another
Just as we love ourselves
Second he said, feed the children of the world
It did not dawn on me tell later that we are all God's children
And third, he said we need peace in the world
As I sat there in a cloud of white
And he disappeared in a puff from my sight
I awoke and pondered on the message sent
I felt I had to pass this message on
To all or just even one
This Christmas message that came by a dream
As strange as this may seem
Conveys that this should be a season of love
Sent by the blessed Father from above
