I'd like to send my
biggest Yuletide wishes,
not to my closest
friends or loved relations,
but out to kids
who've never heard of Christmas,
the ones in all the
far-off poorest nations.
The kids who
struggle daily for survival,
who never heard of
Santa or December,
to whom a gift is
simply one more morning
without the loss of
one more family member.
Those kids who grow
despising all religion,
with anger in their
veins and hate a winner,
infused with venom
searching for a victim,
not once to see the
love of Christmas dinner.
Those waifs in
countries still without a future,
no sleigh bells to
bring smiles to hungry faces,
in Africa,
Afghanistan and Asia,
the Middle East
and countless other places.
So spare a thought
as you unwrap your presents,
the season to be
jolly - money driven,
and say a prayer
for kids who don't have Christmas,
then thank your God
for what you have been given. |
