Acrostic poem

Christmas Tears

Can you hear the jingle of bells?

Hear the blessings and the noels

Reaching out with joy for all

In homes everywhere, presents in the hall

Still there is another side we never see

Those neglected children, with stockings empty

Many are in places they should never be

All too many, homeless, too true sadly

So spare a thought for children so needy



Tiny boys and girls that are too hungry

Each of us will celebrate, and never know

Anything about young tears that grow

Remember your young ones, safe and protected

Sadly, there are young children rejected

There is always another side to Christmas we never see.

A very touching acrostic Chris....yes the sad side of Christmas is that is more often than not ignored

You know when heaven rejoices on Christmas they're not rejoicing in the 'birth of the Lord" afterall, he existed in heaven long before he came as a man... instead they're rejoicing in what his birth means for mankind. But we seem to forget all what Christ stood for in this time. pity. anyhow... If Christ was on earth tonite.. he'd prolly have a meal, but soon after he'd hit to the street and take care of those in need.
