Time…..
Baby, you asked me…
So what do you want for Christmas?
Yes on my list was…
Time
Given to a charity
In our hearts to find
Open eyes to see
There are so many people
Losing their homes
Looking towards the church steeples
I don’t want them to think they are alone
There is a need for formula n diapers
Most charities make more than 50% this time of year
Most families won’t get help have you heard
Afraid of losing their children is the word
But they are not making their quotas they do fear
Food banks are empty already
Resources are falling
My heart is heavy
And they are calling
For time, money and blankets n food
Now I haven’t got but few dollars to spare
But I have become quite aware
What I able to give I will
So do something for the people less fortunate than I
As I shed a tear from my eye
Lest we forget our fellowman kind
Lost is the Christmas spirit we will find
I give what I can in love
Deep within my heart
Sorting through my ample closets
Digging deep in my pockets
I will go without my Lattes
n frappes
Find a blanket or two
As a family, we are giving time too
The local soup kitchen next week
Props is not what we seek
Showing the children there are people with less fortunate
Than us
A lesson in life we must
See I don’t want anything where cost is monetary
I am very very
Happy with time served to giving back
A handmade gift a handmade card
Something made from the heart
No fancy diamonds, no perfume
No chocolate truffles or flower blooms
I am a simple girl
Living in a trying world
No name brands tickle my fancy
T-shirts n jeans is who I be
I don’t do bling
A song to sing for me
Maybe?
Write me a poem drop me a line
This is my hearts re-design
Give the gift of giving
Of a family to help living
That they made it through another day
Maybe to stranger, kind words we say
I guess I was wrong I do want a lot
I want love to reign and war to stop
But the Divine has a plan set in motion
I will stick to my daily devotion
For really He is the reason for the Season
And I guess in others I still believe
I know I can’t be wrong look at the folks in my poetic family
The gift that keeps giving is a never ending well
So Merry Christmas 2 all
Happiness and joy may it bring
May the New Year dawn blessed and bright
Always pray for the early light
Much love to you from me n mine
And please remember the gift of time!
