There is someone who I love Someone who hurt this Christmas And there are many others out there Who are bereft of the brightest warmest sentiments the heart can experience While the rest of us are ignorant of these happenings All wrapped up in presents and drinking cheers We fall short of being grateful for having somewhere to belong For some the winter in their hearts is not nearly over when the holiday season is over They are hurt from within and have yet to find somewhere to belong It is sadness which confines me The thought that my loved one goes sick From within every Christmas To think the winters in my love's soul Are but shared by so many around the world Yet the rest of us are careless, selfish and blinded by our needs How many Christmases and winters would I spend in hurt and suffering Just so that the one I love felt right at home for one Christmas night How forgetful are we that a warm room and a petty meal Might be a human necessity to subsist through the winter But love and a sense of belonging is all that keeps us alive We can not afford to not touch lives And share our love and kindness with everyone My loved one, if you ever fear you're alone Don't worry God knows where you belong If anything in my heart there is a place for you If you feel alone you can belong with me Strangers and enemies if you feel alone you can belong with me Let us all be fearless in our efforts to share our blessings We can not afford to not let others know they belong with us It is a vicarious pain which I have come to assimilate as my own The hurt which the one I love feels at times And which many others feel all the same The world is full of another type of hunger and yearning Thus we shall not weaver in a journey To help others find meaningfulness in their lives And help them feel like they belong If I could only accomplish to make the one I love feel a sense of belonging... And if you feel like you can't make another feel like they belong Because you yourself feel alone in this world Please never give up the fight Look within your self and know There is someone out there like me Yearning and waiting to let you know Here...you are loved Here...you are meaningful Here...you belong Look at a stranger's eyes and smile Look within in their soul and find solace in their existence There are more than six billion souls out there And although on the outside we seem different In the end we are all connected and we belong

Christmas Epiphany
There is someone who I love Someone who hurt this Christmas And there are many others out there Who are bereft of the brightest warmest sentiments the heart can experience While the rest of us are ignorant of these happenings All wrapped up in presents and drinking cheers We fall short of being grateful for having somewhere to belong For some the winter in their hearts is not nearly over when the holiday season is over They are hurt from within and have yet to find somewhere to belong It is sadness which confines me The thought that my loved one goes sick From within every Christmas To think the winters in my love's soul Are but shared by so many around the world Yet the rest of us are careless, selfish and blinded by our needs How many Christmases and winters would I spend in hurt and suffering Just so that the one I love felt right at home for one Christmas night How forgetful are we that a warm room and a petty meal Might be a human necessity to subsist through the winter But love and a sense of belonging is all that keeps us alive We can not afford to not touch lives And share our love and kindness with everyone My loved one, if you ever fear you're alone Don't worry God knows where you belong If anything in my heart there is a place for you If you feel alone you can belong with me Strangers and enemies if you feel alone you can belong with me Let us all be fearless in our efforts to share our blessings We can not afford to not let others know they belong with us It is a vicarious pain which I have come to assimilate as my own The hurt which the one I love feels at times And which many others feel all the same The world is full of another type of hunger and yearning Thus we shall not weaver in a journey To help others find meaningfulness in their lives And help them feel like they belong If I could only accomplish to make the one I love feel a sense of belonging...
