I have written a poem and believe that

it may be of some help to you in answering

some questions you have about me.... 

Merry Christmas To One and All.

'Tis the time for giving
Original poem by Stan (SERabin)

'Twas the day after Christmas
The garbage was full,
With the empty boxes
And some wrapping too.

There were even some scraps,
That we cleaned from our plates,
But recycling was the last thing
That we thought for the cakes.

I waited so patiently
For the truck to arrive,
So they can take some of the memories,
That we all have derived.

But there down the block,
I saw with some shock
Was a family with a wagon
Without to much of a stock.

I thought I would die
When they looked in the trash,
For some things that we discarded
Without any disgrace.

They weren't very choosy,
The things that they took,
Even the bones that were there
With a nibble or two.

Reluctantly I stopped
And ask them why,
On the day after Christmas
They were looking inside.

The answer was frightening,
To me what they said,
Because I had everything,
And then some to last.

I didn't need to listen, when they answered with tears,
It just fortified some of my fears.
That I didn't even think of those less fortunate then I,
On this very giving time of the year.

Its never to late to do what is right,
It does as much for our selves as it does for the blight.
So I went inside and to my surprise
Were my family with tears in there eyes.

We all found something,
That we wanted to keep
But found GIVING
Is a better idea.

The family now left,
With a wagon so full,
That they didn't even stop,
At my neighbors trash bin.

After waving good bye
and turned inside,
I noticed a strange thing,
Placed near where I lied.

A plain peace of paper was there,
That would have never been found
If not for the light
That was shining down.

I picked up a pen and the paper arrived,
As if with no time,
Don't remember that I bent
To the floor that night

My hand with the pen inside
Went crazy to write
what had happened to me
So you see or might

Understand that we should all
do something for those
That don't have
Or the needy with food so they can survive.


Please send this to everyone that you know.
I think that we all should keep this in mind at all times.
