Yuletide's Banner It's that time again Of peace and love Of praise and thanks And thoughts above But who left among us Remembers history's page? When the hungry cried And we took the stage Now look around I say the need is plain Gaze inside and ask Are we still the same? Reach out and touch Your Brother's arm Hold him close And safe from harm Extend your arms Embrace the world Raise the banner high Let it be unfurled "Let me pierce the realm of glamour So I know just what I am." ~ Van Morrison [This message has been edited by EagleOne (edited 12-14-2001).] |

Eddie, words worth pondering. A time of love, such as this, should extend to all not just those we know. Well said. Andrea Summon the courage to step out of your familiar rut and suddenly many of those things which held you back will no longer have the power to do so. |

Words to live by all year long. Well spoken Eddie. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
