Not To Forget

His name was peace, his name was love
A young child given by his father above
Shepherds and Kings pulled by a star
To a shed and a manger travelled afar

A bright light shone and angels did sing
Hope for mankind church bells did ring
And from his lips came forth a prayer
Of beauty and love for all beings to share

On this special day with family and kin
Feast merrily let celebrations begin
But spare a thought for the unfortunate
For the war torn, poor, victims of hate

Be charitable in life, kindly in thought
Remember a boy and lessons he taught


May your Gods bless you all
Have a great Christmas
You lovely PF'S

A loving admonition. Nothing can diminish the spirit of the season. The harder hate tries, the less effective its effect.
