Poor's Christmas |

The star shone for everyone The child came to save us all He cared not what religion For his mission was love of all The manger his cradle A young mother in a huddle The wise came to spread the good news On our earth created by his father He knew no wealth Love and peace he pledged Healing the sick and the poor As he spread his arms on calvary His words have gone begging Two thousand years since his departing Children are dying, and starving Fathers and mothers keep on working Slaving away in squalor Walking the slums from a days labor Crying at night, praying for mercy In a world gone ruthless and greedy The Christmas tree is not there As the day comes near The father bakes a loaf of bread to share On Christmas day, the children can only stare At the broken heart of their parents Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love |

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Daniel, this is soooooo heartbreaking, I dont know what to say! (wipes tears) All I can say is let us all take a moment and think and pray to all these less fortunate children and their families these holidays and wish for them the greatest love and hope possible and do what we can to help them all! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I join you in your heartfelt prayers! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSS) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Daniel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

*sigh* such sadness fills my heart. If only each of us would do a little it to help such families it would help so much and put hope back in the eyes of loving parents. Thank you for this wonderful message. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
