You can't get here fast enough for me.
I don't mean Christmas
And everything this season brings.
I mean you - now - here.
I grow weary of turning on the television
Only to hear
Wealthy leaders blaming people who are poor of starting class warfare -
Only to see
Examples of hate among people who supposedly love the same God -
Only to know
That these kinds of things will continue into the next year.
Or, at the very least -
Turn us into people of justice and peace and
Help us all to remember your commandment
To love our neighbors as ourselves -
To want the very best for our neighbors
Even if it means giving up something for ourselves -
Out of love for, concern for
Our neighbor.
Turn our hearts, Lord Jesus
And come.
