A CHRISTMAS PRAYER

Christmas time is coming.

There's so much I wish.

Not for me, Dear God, but for those upon this list.

I have a house, Dear God, but there are those without a home.

Please give them one for Christmas, one they can call their own.

There are children who have toys and a place to rest their heads.

Please, give to those who don't, some fine toys and some warm beds.

My table will be adorned with food on this fine Christmas day.

Please give food to those who hunger. They must not wither away.

I have clothes upon my back to keep me warm and dry.

But there are some with clothes so old, they simply can;t get by.

I'll have a Christmas tree with lovely lights that blink in time.

Please give a tree to others so they can see the glorious shine.

But most of all, dear God, I have love within my heart.

Please give the gift of love to those who need a brand new start.
