Holiday Rush
By Richard Maxfield
12-10-2000

The lights twinkle bright
Christmas tunes are sang
Shoppers rushing by
Snowflakes begin to fall

Trees dressed so bright
Adorn the window proud
Neatly wrapped presents
Sales at every store

Fireplace burning hot
Sips of eggnog
Candies of ever color
Sparkling children’s eyes

Out front the bell ringer
Hurried holiday pace
Christmas dinner cooking
Snowman standing strong

In the darken shadows
Seeing life go by
Lonely man is standing
No tears left to cry

Your words carry a deep meaning. We must remember that for all the joy this time of year there are those who don't have anyone to love. Be kind to those who have no one!!

a very sad one indeed..maybe even a smile would make him feel better..instead of treating them like a shadow in the dark.

so sad, but I believe the smallest gift shows the greatest love, sometimes just a simple smile at a person may be the starting point, Christmas is giving.
