The Perfect Gift
By Yvonne Hollenbeck
Not everyone's Christmas is merry,
not everyone's heart's filled with cheer;
perhaps it's because they are missing
a loved one not with them this year.It might be a soldier in service,
or death might have darkened their door;
there's reasons why some folks are lonely
and something we should not ignore.It must be real hard to be lonely,
while others are happy and gay;
while we see the blue skies and sunshine,
their skies are cloudy and gray.And it's easy with our lives so busy
to not take the time to be there
to help lift a burden for others
and let them know somebody cares.If you want to do something this Christmas
to help those who might be alone,
take time from your parties and shopping
and give them a call on the phone.Better yet, pay 'em a visit
to let 'em know somebody cares;
for none of us know of tomorrow
when we may have crosses to bear.So this year when you go out shopping
be sure that you add to your list
a name of someone that's lonely
and give them the best kind of gift.You won't have to spend any money,
for we know that the best gifts are free.
Take time for the lonely this Christmas,
it's just how God meant it to be.
