I watch the excitement of the children
As the christmas seasons gets near
They know exactly what they want
And they know it will be here.
I'm glad they have God's blessings
In abundance all through the year
But I want them to know of others
Of whom they may not hear.
So I'll take them to the nursing home
A womans shelter or an orphanage
I'll teach them to give a bit of time
Talent or whatever they can manage.
They need to know that being Christian
Means living this way each and every day
That social problems belong to everyone
And wishing won't make them go away.
And they'll have a merry Christmas
And it will be all the better this year
Because they did for other people
And they learned to shed a tear.

That is an awesome poem, Katy. It's too bad that most can't learn to do as you suggest. What a different world it would be if the majority followed your advice and direction...

I wish it were that way too. But "teach your children well" today means only securing their economic future... |

Very nice poem, Katy. And you are right in that children should be taught early and by example as well as words.
