Father Christmas
By: Michael Bosc
 
It's Christmas time again
Time for families to be together
A time to give thanks
That we are not apart
Our loved ones are with us
We are not on our own

But out there in Afghan
Our boys are just that
Out on their own working
And under attack
Where they wish that for Christmas
They could spend it at home.

But Santa is kind he does not forget
He saved up some pressies to give to our boys
Dodging the bullets he flew on his way
To make sure they got presents on their Christmas day
With a ho ho ho he was then on his way
To boys and girls with toys to play

But his best time of all came at journey's end
When checking his list he remembers his friends
The cooks in the mess tents who fed him fine food
The men who gave Rudolf and Prancer their share
Then as he took off they gave him a cheer
As he took their love to the children so dear

A look of contentment appears on his face
As he drinks up his coffee at a leisurely pace
Then goes to his window and opens it wide
Looking out on the world he raises his voice
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
AND TO ALL GIRLS AND BOYS



(c) Michael Douglas Bosc

Your Pain
By: De'Shaun Prader

Your pain makes me feel sad
I hate when you are down
I hate to see you frown
I try to connect to you
Just to understand what you're feeling
I put our minds together
Just to understand your thoughts
Just to see what you
Are thinking
From there I will
Figure out what can be done
I’ll hold your hand to let
You see that I’m there for you
I promise you
That I love you
That’s why I’m here
To get through this with you
Trust me I have you
I'm close to your heart
I share your feelings with you
So your pain is not felt alone
Even the person that caused your pain
Has now and finally passed on

De'Shaun Prader



I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
-Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

Shades of Grey


Grey skies, grey faces, grey feelings, grey hearts
That's what keeps the world apart
From unity, which has no bounds
That engulfs and surrounds

The grey moves, dark as clouds
The great evil it does shroud
Moves along, devouring its prey
Those who resist, it doth slay

But forget not, my dear friends
There is a chance to make amends
For what is grey without its white?
But a mute man with no sight

But for this brightness to ignite
First the darkness it must fight
An epic battle doth ensue
And we will definitely see it through

Krantol Northic

"Today is your day to dance lightly with life,
sing wild songs of adventure,
invite rainbows & butterflies out to play,
soar your spirit, and unfurl your joy."
~Jonathan Lockwood Huie
