this is a new one
(12/22/12)

It was Christmas eve and last minute

Shoppers were running frantically.

As I walked out my front door

What to my astonishment and surprise

A little boy sitting with a puppy in his lap

Looking up to the sky.

I asked : "Are you o.k.?" He replied : "No! Not really!"

Every year I find a spot to sit down and look around

Of how free will can be put to the ground.

Why does man thrive on pain, suffering and war

When they have another door?

A door of peace, happiness and love

Sent to them from my father above.

I know since my birth it has gotten better

And people are finding their faiths once again

And love is filling many hearts and souls

But true happiness and peace should be their goal.

I see so many children abandoned and left in

The streets without food or drink.

In the Middle East and Asia little girls' lives

Are being taken and destroyed

Over the birth of a little boy.

Without the females this world would cease to exist

I would not be here if not for my mother

And like her there is no other.

Why would man want to take a life at birth

This is the most precious thing on this earth.

The children are so happy when they celebrate my birth

And receive gifts as I had done before

When the three kings opened up that gift giving door.

Yet! I sit here reflecting on centuries gone by

With tears in my eyes.

But also with joy and fulfillment in my heart

Knowing this is the season for a brand new start.

Look into the eyes of every child that passes by

And you will see that gleam in their eyes

And love in their hearts, if they are led in the right direction

Mankind will be closer to perfection.

I could not believe what I was hearing and asked:

"Who are you?" He turned and smiled and said:

"I am your father my son, and I’ve come

To help everyone.

Everyone who seeks my father

I will respond in his name."

Then he faded from my sight

And I prayed for peace and love that same night.

WHO WAS HE ?
