Christmas But Who Cares ??

We all could care so much more!!!! Luke


Christmas but who cares????

to those in need

a single mom in need.
an elderly man alone.
a teenager on the street.
but who cares?

No money to buy food.
No company any day.
No place to call home.
But who cares?

The social worker does her best.
The home care worker is there each day.
Shelters are a place to rest.
But do these people have a say?

They didn't plan their lives this way.
They have hopes and dreams.
Struggling each and every day.
Never getting ahead it seems.

Now's not the time to judge their state.
Now's the time to lend a hand.
We can help determine their fate.
Now's the time to take a stand.

We all can help in some small way.
We all can provide some fare.
We all meet these people every day.
We all can show we're the ones who care.

A kind word can do so much.
There's nothing like a kindly touch.
There's a gift for those who dare.
The gift of giving for those who care.

by Luke

Luke, it's obvious that you care about people. Christmas I believe brings all this home to those who are lucky enough to have security and loved ones. Christmas does matter, it gives even those poor souls a chance to feel the cheer around them. People do give and care about the folk they know in this position. I just wish the Governments did enough to make sure the needy had something at Christmas. Those on welfare in the UK are given a bonus cheque. Not sure if that happens here or not.
Thank you for sharing this lovely poem!

A very loving, tender and caring POEM. Thanks for sharing your concern for others. My experience is many people become givers during the Christmas season and I think that is wonderful. But, that same spirit to give should be a part of us all year, and for some people it is. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you, Love, Betty
