As Christmas time approaches again, <br />We look forward to the celebrations, <br />Families together drinking champagne, <br />Opening their lavish presentations. <br /> <br />It's a day to enjoy but not for all, <br />So try to give them just a thought, <br />The homeless, the lonely, give them a call, <br />This is when they most feel distraught. <br /> <br />Out on the streets while freezing cold, <br />No bed or a room to be found, <br />Loneliness doesn't affect just the old, <br />Both are afflictions happening all year round. <br /> <br />So look around you on this Christmas day, <br />Try to give a stranger some cheer, <br />It will give such pleasure when they hear you say, <br />Please come in you are welcome here. <br /> <br />It's oh so easy to fall to the floor, <br />Life can easily turn into a mess, <br />When that fine line is crossed it can feel so sore, <br />You find your troubles you can no longer address. <br /> <br />The message of Christmas should be one of hope, <br />For everyone not just for some, <br />A friendly ear can help the vulnerable cope, <br />Ignorance can leave them feeling numb. <br /> <br />We are all Gods children regardless of type, <br />So never look down on another, <br />What gives anyone the right to take a swipe? <br />At what is a sister or brother? <br /> <br />Christmas comes but once a year, <br />For some problems last much longer, <br />We may not make their worries disappear, <br />But we can make them feel much stronger. <br /> <br />Jesus Christ was born to save us from sin, <br />Gods message is we are all as one, <br />The gift of caring for others comes from within, <br /> <br />‘' Those Less Fortunate We Must Never Shun ‘'<br /><br />bri mar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/those-less-fortunate-we-must-never-shun/
