THINK ABOUT IT

 The Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays are

Always the time we remember the forgotten ones.

The homeless, the sick, the elderly, the ones who are

Alone, the underprivileged.  They should never be forgotten.

Especially now, with a worldwide pandemic

Attacking everyone, no matter age, race, or

Financial or political status, nor religion.  It's 

An equal opportunity disease in all kinds of weather.

Isn't it sad that evil doesn't pick and choose

Who they get.  But good people have 

No way to get help because they don't meet

The requirements that agencies insist they make?

As a nation and world, we work together to

Help find a cure for a deadly pandemic.

Why can't we do that all the time, instead

Of fighting, hacking, and causing havoc?

We should remember the forgotten all year, 

Every year and treat each other

With kindness and respect.  The respect

Has to be earned on both sides--together.

The Lord said to "love thy neighbor as thyself",

And "do unto others as you would have done to

You."  Don't you think it's about time we listened?

There's too much to lose.
