My Christmas Wish

In these times of joy
For all girls and boys
Remember to give a smile
For the days of yule
And all things cool
Should be enjoyed all the while

As you pull your bows
And tear your wraps
And exclaim in wonder and awe
Give a moment of thought for a child forgot
In a world of rich and poor

Look at the world
Where many are lost
But forget not those close to home
For a child nearby is easy to miss
When the children so far are shown

Charity, so they say
Is meant to begin at home
But Christmas time when all is gay
Is when charities begin to roam

Reach out your hand to the one you love
But reach out your heart to a stranger
Be a friend to the people in your life
Be a hero to a child in danger
Give a gift that brings a smile

Christmas trees and ringing bells
Santa Claus and all his elves
Good will to man, woman and child
Take just a moment and give a smile
Make a difference every day
And learn the truth
Life repays
