Thursday Poets Rally
After loving all your friends and family
Thursday Poets Rally
After loving all your friends and family
is there enough room
for thousands more?
Our hearts are small, but there is vacancy
This time of the year, we sometimes forget
There are homeless,
Victims of 911
Men and women, fighting for our freedom
During this season, there are people losing homes
No Christmas Tree's
No Presents for children
Sometimes, there is no food
Our Country needs people
To find love in their hearts
For the helpless, homeless, and depressed
Do you have room to love them?
If you give something
Money, a coat, a meal
Don't think how good it made you feel
Think, you have given someone a piece of your heart
You have enough love, for millions
Different it may be
Let's not forget the elderly, the abused, animals that are beaten and starved
Let's go back to the basic we were taught
Love your neighbor
Perhaps, it will be you in their situation someday
We never know our future
If you do something kind with love, you teach your children what love really means

You've captured the true meaning of Christmas. I am happy to see that, in spite of the economy, I see so many people giving. Here in NV we are #1 unempl0yment @ 14.4% and #1 foreclosure. There is such great need. Good reminder, Wisteria.
