One Of Us

The phone rang just past 5 this morning.
To myself I asked, "Who must this be calling?"

In reply to my 'Hello', came a serious reply.
There was a strong male voice with a happy
greeting saying,

"My name is Christmas.
I'm in search of the spirit of giving.
Listen well if to you God is speaking.

I have been sent to make serious requesting.
A mission of mercy awaits any who is willing.
Acts of kindness await any who is loving.
Be prepared to open your heart to someone knocking.
Be mindful of someone on the streets walking.
Beware of someone on the sidewalk sleeping".
