Analysis of A Christmas Prayer for Chloe
My Chloe friend may have to spend
Her Christmas day alone.
The country where she lives is there
By England on her own.
I try to be a friend she'll see
As one who cares a lot
About the way she spends each day
Believing she is not
Of value to a world so blue
With truth so hard to find.
My Christmas prayer has just one layer;
Use faith to fill your mind!
