Charity
Seasons greetings to one and all.
A cup of cheer and food that is rich.
It Christmastide so throw the switch.
Celebrate go on have a ball
Sod those who have nothing at all.
Homeless people on the cold street
Spare them a thought give them a treat
Charity may begin at home
They need our help out there alone.
Help them, it’s not such a great feat.
This is part of Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Décima Challenge.
I do not know who this man is but I have used his face more than once when writing about compassion. There is something in his eyes that reach out telling his story pain, grief rejection it is all there!
I used his face last at Christmas while I was talking about Crisis at Christmas . Crisis is the National Charity for single hopeless people. They are dedicated to helping people and giving them a chane to change their life’s for the better, to give them hope.
The Charity works all year round of course but they also do Crisis at Christmas. Volunteers spend a fortnight cooking, providing a warm place to stay for those lost and lonely people. They give them new clothes, a hair cut and also help them to change their lives if they want to. They help with finding somewhere to live or a job interview .
They show real compassion they help and they are unpaid and they really make a difference.

I try to promote Crisis at Christmas every year. I know it’s a year round problem but I try 💜

Of course, at it’s at this time of year when it’s all sweetness and light, babies in mangers and all that, people get amnesia about how little others have.
