When I Think About

When I think about all the people... Who have newly saddened lives People who may have lost a spouse Their husbands or their wives When I think about the orphaned children The little girls and little boys Whom don't have either parent To give a wish list full of toys When I think about the natural disasters The fires, winds and quakes And the lives that are ruined forever Just like that, My god...for heaven sakes When I think about those hateful bastards Who shoot bullets in our schools Killing all those innocent people Dear Lord, they must be Satan's fools When I think about the unfortunate children Whom were born with special needs I pray for their families, ever so dearly My heart, for them...it bleeds When I think about all those people Whom have sadness in their lives Look at me, a full-grown man Tears are in my eyes When I think about Christmas time I remember, some have it really bad So, I say my prayers...before I sleep And I pray, your Christmas's...not sad A Sad Christmas-December 2018 Poetry Contest Sponsored by Dear Heart 12-4-2018
