Friendship's Song *********

I see the pure light in your eyes so clearly....
It shines like a window into your heart
As my spirit searches for more to see
I look for the essence of who you are.

I see love in the center of it all.......
and a kindness and gentleness so true,
Humbleness and peace like a waterfall
that flows into everything that you do.

Humanity that radiates each day
A love of life to which none can compare.........
I see true beauty in a special way
a genuine side so perfect and rare.

I open my heart with great happiness.....
The bond of friendship forms forevermore
For true friends are thankful and always blessed
Standing together....that's what friends are for.

The Christmas Pledge

Father:

I hear the sound of a crying heart on the chilly air,

It's reaching out for love and gentleness in every way

and then I see your presence come with precious, tender care

I'm in awe of your breathtaking hope, more than words can say.

At that moment, my heart sees and learns what it all means so true,

The lights and pageantry are not important anymore

Being a bright source of inspiration like you would do

That is the perfect goal that my heart is now striving for.

I make this special pledge to you now with all that I am,

I'll listen for the needs of other souls attentively

I'll look to you at all times, and take hold of your great hand

For now my heart really knows what Christmas is meant to be.

It's about a precious baby born many years ago,

The most precious gift of love was given to everyone

Now, we must let that beautiful, great love blossom and show

For that's when you know the meaning of Christmas has begun.

Father, thank you so much for this special time of the year,

I make this special Christmas pledge, right now, Lord, unto you

Thank you for all of my blessings and that which I hold dear

I'll be your Christmas light in all I am my whole life through.

Amen.

God bless you all!
