A Christmas to Remember
They are waiting for that day -
When Santa will bring them toys,
Guessing what might they get -
Those fortunate little girls and boys.
Some others look forward to less ?
There is no Santa Claus for them,
Toys are the least on their minds ?
Their broken lives need to mend.
Beautiful clothes they always wear ?
Name brand only will they know,
Never to worry if they don?t fit ?
While others go naked out in the cold.
People shopping for Christmas gifts ?
Many family and friends for whom to buy,
Never thinking of a different fate ?
Not everyone has a job on which to rely.
Christmas lights strung all over the house ?
Drivers passing by, they are so bright,
The only light is a flickering candle ?
Hiding their faces while parents fight.
Tucked into bed after end of day ?
Pillows soft and blankets warm,
Kisses on their foreheads, saying good night ?
All is safe, no fear of any harm.
Bullets flying in many directions ?
Innocently striking a small child down,
Gangs roaming the streets at will ?
While the poor little body waits to be found.
Put an angel on top of the tree ?
Watch the lights flicker and blink,
Feel the warmth from the fireplace close ?
Hot chocolate is prepared to drink.
Homeless person on the street corner ?
Holding cup out to passerby?s,
Maybe a nickel or a dime will drop in ?
Shivering in the cold so teary-eyed.
These pondering thoughts come to me ?
As this Christmas season draws near,
Times have changed for so many folks ?
Things aren?t like they were last year.
The one thing that is constant each year ?
Is that Christmas is about a holy birth,
The coming of the Christ child for all who know ?
That God loves His children all over this earth.
No matter the scene, be good or bad ?
This event we celebrate the 25th of December,
Times have changed for many like no other -
And this will be a Christmas to remember!
