Christmas Woes < !signature-->At a time to rejoice The birth of the savior To know that he died Forgiving our sins There are so many alone There are so many sad There are so many in need There’s so many who have it bad. In this, the richest of nations Where wealth is abundant There's so many that are in need Yet I am unable to help My heart is heavy today Knowing someone so sad My soul weeps streaming tears For a friend who’s soul is troubled I am a rescuer from birth And I am not able to help I can’t give hope or wealth To that family I know Watch over them God If you truly exist I ask not for myself To them, bestow Your gifts Let their hearts lighten From Life’s burdens Let them feel love again And give them compassion Christmas: A joyous time Not for those in need Not for those who can’t help Give to them peace with hope Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace with yourself. --Amelia Earhart [This message has been edited by startin_fresh (edited 12-24-1999).] |

Is there a God? Oh yes indeed there is! Does he hear you and your worries for those others? He certainly does! What can you do to help? PRAY! For that is not the least we can do for someone, but PRAYER is the most we can do! That is what you can give! <*\\\>< Jesus is the reason for the season Keep Christ in CHRISTmas |

Startin_Fresh - What we give to others is what we give of ourselves ... love, hope and friendship. We can change the world ... one heart at a time. Your heart is in the right place ... God hears your prayers. Beautiful sentiments ... know that God answers prayers. Love ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Seems I can't say anything except to echo the previous replies! Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |
