Christmas bells ring through the night

bringing cheer and holiday delight.

Memories of childhood fun,

with dreams of sugar plums.

While my childhood memories give warmth and smiles

there are those where the holidays

are sadden with tears.

So I ask one favor

during these holiday times,

take a moment to stop and think,

say a little pray,

and wish peace to everyone.
