Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

Not everyone is fortunate
To experience Christmas cheer
Many souls are lost and lonely
At this festive time of year

There are those who have no home
They have no real family
Their life has lost direction
And through cloudy eyes they see

We can all help those in need
It is easy if you try
Give something of yourself
And experience a natural high

The gift of human kindness
Is a wonderful gift to impart
It is warm and it is genuine
For it comes straight from the heart




I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

How very true Sue!
The gift of human kindness doesn't come with a price tag...
and indeed is a gift straight from the heart.
A very blessed Christmas to you and yours.
~Hugs & Luv~

Sue - Random acts of kindness feel soooo good. What if each and everyone of us did one of these each day? Wouldn't it be wonderful?!! Great poem. hugs, Chris

Hi Sue, just popped in on my way to crawling under the covers. Thank you for writing this heartfelt poem and it is just heartbreaking how many people are along during the holidays. Your poem is a reminder of how fortunate we are and how much we have to be grateful for.

Hugs, Marti

Let our love circle the world and
bring Peace to all this Holiday Season.
