The Holiday Prayer

By: Spencer Betz

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The sidewalks and the roadways

Have now become my home

Since misfortune somehow found me

I've been wandering alone

The coldness and the darkness

Of every passing night

Leads me to a shelter

That for tonight feels alright

You'd not think it's perfect

It's loud and space is tight

But if they have a bed for me

It's perfect for this night

I'm tired, cold, and hungry

My body's wracked with pain

But I'm just a broken spirit

Not a person gone insane

So look at me this Christmas

And thank your lucky stars

That you have what you do have

And don't bare all these scars

And if the moment strikes you

That to give is to receive

Then you are that one person

That helps me to believe

I believe that I will conquer

All that fate has dealt to me

And I'll never give up trying

I believe in humanity

So while you sit with family

Gathered 'round your Christmas tree

And open Santa's presents

I hope you'll think of me

If there's one gift you can give me

I will tell you what I'd like

It's not a giant castle

It's not a brand new bike

A prayer is all I ask for

A prayer that asks the Lord

To bless those here beside me

The broken, beat, the poor

Ask that He please hear you

In your Christmas prayer

And bless all souls who suffer

So lost and in despair

For myself I ask you nothing

Except this one small prayer

So won't you take a moment

Bow your head and show you care

Yes, I'm back! And in time for Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
