Our prayers ascend
to God above
for all who weep
at reveled hour
who nothing have to
celebrate the year...
ache overwhelms
with ponderous weight
upends light spirit's buoyancy
the days as dark
as moonless night
and naught but time
to heal and elate
the heart

Wonderful sentiments for those whose hearts have no joy to share
in this season of goodwill...

Thank you posting to the Triple Name Club.

Very thoughtful...I know that the soldiers do celebrate in their own way...makes me curious to find out how to help...I know there are organizations out there.
