Reaching Out
I write this note for a reason,
As it is the proper season
That brings memories to the mind
Though long before left behind
Of past times we've all decided
Our best as the story goes
Those Christmas times delighted
As we watch the fires glow
Yet we forget the others
More unfortunate than we
Without fathers and mothers
Without the brightly lit tree
We see our own troubles
And feel they're worse than our neighbors
Yet when we get to know them
We then see all their labors
And so we reach to those
Who need much more than we
As we gather them together
To share our glowing tree
I am grateful for the kind hearts
Who have helped me Christmas past
Those hearts have given me hope
That I can move on and at last
Return to those forgotten
The love of Christmas time
With our own love we impart
We share the glow sublime
We share of what we have
That all may find their peace
And for once perhaps in their lives
Have given them hope and release
May we all enjoy our families
During this holiday season
And share with those in need
Passing on our love, yes Christmas is the reason
