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!

About this poem

She needs many, many prayers to replenish the hope she has lost!
