I wrote this is 1978. Not great poetry but I wanted to share.
Christmas - 1978
If all my friends would listen
to what I have to say..
If they would lend an ear to me
on this bright Christmas Day.
They’d learn my wish for each of them
for Christian - Moslem - Jew
A wish that comes straight from my heart
for me - for mine - for you
To wish for everyone to know
that Christmas is for all
For each and every person who lives
upon this ball!
It’s a time to stop - and clasp our hands
in love.
That’s the real Christmas message
sent to us from above
For God is one and One is One
if on this we can agree
Then truly this would be our
world harmonious and free.
You see - God is Love
and we are His.
And that’s the Holy Truth!
Yes- Christmas is for everyone
to love and hope and feel
Not just a day for giving gifts
and every that big meal.
It’s not a day just for Christians
to meet and celebrate
It is a day for everyone
to love - and end all hate.
