The gifts are wrapped with bows All nestled under trees Children smile happily Upon Santa Claus' knee. The sidewalk streets are lined With Christmas lights and bows The streets are full of people Rushing quickly to and fro. The cat lays by the fire Curled sweetly into sleep The turkey's fresh aroma Around the rooms slowly sweeps. Fresh snow lies in the park Topping trees and pathways there A man lays on the bench Sleeping out in brisk cold air. His clothes are torn and worn The years show on his face He digs within the garbage can For some food to eat today. A business man walks by Pretends he does not see The wrinkled poor old man Begging on his knee. The heart is made of flesh Revealing who we are Made of flesh with love to share Or stone and selfish hard. The true self can be known By more than what we say Our actions speak much louder Than our words to day to day. |

Your poem rings loudly with the same sentiments as mine! It's good to know that others have the same concerns. This is why I felt I should re-post in this forum! I really like the way you show images of gifts, Christmas lights, bows and comfort, before you send a clear message of reality for many in need! Very well done! |

Very sad, but it's true that people focus on what they want to see. Elizabeth |

great poem! I really liked this. A wonderful lesson for every day of the year like PDV said. Good joB!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
