Dear Lord Christmas is coming upon us; <br />once again, we will be celebrating <br />the birth of your son Jesus. <br />Even as I say this, <br />the cold nights are approaching; <br />thousands upon thousands <br />will be sleeping in doorways <br />and ally ways with nowhere to go. <br />Their plight is not uncommon Lord. <br />Their reason for being there <br />are varied and many. <br />It is to these lost souls that I pray to you today. <br />With your almighty power, <br />help all of them through <br />the cold nights that lay ahead. <br />Cover them with your umbrella of love. <br />Keep them all safe from harm <br />and let each and everyone of them <br />see a brighter dawn. <br /> <br />Amen <br /> <br /> <br />(11 November 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sunday-prayer-14/
