A Christmas Wish For All Mankind!

A Christmas Wish For All Mankind!

Close now your weary eyes on this Christmas night,
then wish from your kind heart with all soul’s might,
for gifts of love to travel to far corners of the earth,
and seeds of freedom be sowed so peace may birth!

Embrace now dearest loved ones safely gathered in.
Bestow great tidings of comfort and joy to dwell within.
May prosperity settle upon your doorstep at end of day,
good health come visiting as a guest who will ever stay!

Cherish family and friends, treating all with tender care.
Nurture relationships to behold as treasures most rare.
Bid lips of romance are forever sealed with love true.
May your children dance with joy and foresee life anew.

Dream on traveler; keep hope and cheer in your heart.
Rekindle petitions each and every morn to ne’er depart.
Circle the globe and bring good will to all you greet.
Honor differences with tolerance as adversity you meet.

Oppose bias and prejudice wherever they may be found.
Shake hands in the face of division so unity can abound.
Lift up now your tired spirit so you’ll not question when
we shall see reality of this Christmas Wish for all men!
