My Christmas prayer

A Christmas poem

                              My Christmas prayer

Christmas is coming.
The bless day of Jesus birth.
I pray all people can learn the lessons of Jesus.
Forgiveness, love and charity.

Christmas is coming.
I pray the hope of peace can expand to every nation.
I pray every child and family is safe and have shelter.
The sound of war is silence.

Christmas is coming.
We need to remember.
Once a man of love walked upon our earth with us.
He showed us the way to forgiveness and love.

Christmas is the day where we need to be thankful for good health,
family near and to shared the kindness of Jesus.

Forgiveness, love and charity.

I pray your prayer with you Coyote-" I pray the hope of peace can expand to every nation. I pray every child and family is safe and have shelter. The sound of war is silence." These are beautiful and wise words from your heart to God's ears. Thank you.

Yeah you would think for at least one day a year, peace would reign. We sure live in troubled times.
Have a great Christmas John.

John I couldn't agree with you more. There is a song that asks if we could have Christmas everyday. I think it would be marvelous if the spirit of Christmas was with us every day of the year. What a wonderful world it would be.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree Dave. If world needed less useless items. Would be a better world.

We need to slow down and learn. Violence and hate can fix nothing. Thank you Ken for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

If we can continue to do this then there might be hope. You are more than welcome John.

A lovely sentiment in this write, Coyote.

Your words are very astute and as always, bathed in wisdom. No matter what faith one has, love, forgiveness and charity is understood by all mankind. All we need to do is spread it around a little. And the world will be a happier place.

A very thoughtful piece of writing. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
