A Christmas Poem: A Merry Time of the Year

Mothers and Fathers around the country make preparation

While children are on their best behavior in anticipation

Of what Santa will bring down the chimney to them

Christmas for some is a happy time of food and family

A time of to remember and of good cheer

Of a loving family so near

While Christmas for some is a hungry and lonely occasion

A time of anxiety uncertainty and of lost hope A time to spend

alone with out friends

The best Christmas time is when a stranger share

a meal with a stranger who is hungry and lonely

This sharing erases the anxiety and uncertainty of one stranger

A shared meal at Christmas not only bring nourishment

But brings out the true meaning of Christmas

A time to love and care for others

This is what makes Christmas a merry

time of the year.
