There are so many great messages in your poem. I like how this man turned his life around and was able to give to others. Your words remind the reader of Christ's presence this time of year, He is the reason for the season and we should follow His path. Excellent poetic form and use of words to tell a Christmas tale we all need to read. This is an excellent entry for the contest.

Good luck with this, dear friend. You took up all the reasons to be grateful., for there are no guarantees, and some only get that one chance. I hope a gift will be there for the needy. I do charity 3 times a week, rain snow or shine. It is easy to become such these days, much easier than fore.
Bravo.
My best to you, dear Aussie.

Hello dear charity helper! Wish there were more of you! It must be dreadful for homeless in the winter. Australia does hand out bed rolls and food stalls. We are an affluent country (like you) there should not be folks sleeping rough. When I was growing up in the fifties, there was no such thing. Thank you for reading my dear friend, Kay XX

I found this poem very touching. I have hustled past the homeless and shamefully passed judgement. We should remember we are blessed and to should give. My father was actually homeless as a teenager. A product of our foster system. Best wishes.

This speaks how unfortunate the man has been, once a businessman s now begs to live on road, drug addiction did this; he also celebrated Christmas; Jesus helps those who gifts at meal; I liked.

Hello my friend, thank you for reading. PS contact fanstory and ask Tom and see if you can get a sponsor? Blessings, Kay. I wish I could help, I can't sponsor you.

Indeed, with the Holidays coming up we need to think of those folks who are not as fortunate as we are.
Our super market has bags of food made up and we can purchase a bag for five dollars and it is set aside to feed those less fortunate during the Holidays. Good thoughts Kay. Hugs Nancy

What a lovely poem for the Christmas poem contest, Kay. There are many people in this position and it's getting worse. The rich get fatter the poor are starving. When we look at these people in the shop doorways, we must remember that it could be us one day. Well done, my friend. Good luck! :) Sandra

Hello my freezing friend! Thanks for dropping in and reading. Yes, we need to think of the less fortunate. Not only do they miss out on food, they miss out on love. Blessings my little frog in UK.

Kace, this is a well written entry for the Christmas poem contest. I enjoyed how the story unfolded telling of not just a homeless man but how he came to be in that position. It is a story of reflection and acts as a reminder that everyone needs love and attention and giving kindly is a good way of life. I appreciated the poem ending on a happier note. Well done on this enjoyable read and best of luck in the competition. ~DD

Comment from Sasha
This is excellent and tells such a moving story. The Salvation Army is a wonderful organization that had done so much for so many in need. I miss hearing the bell jingle and the proud soldier standing beside the pot. We have them here, but they don't ring the bell they wave a light. As I said, excellent work with this and definitely a reminder to not forget those already forgotten.

Thank you Mrs Pumpkin! I'm glad you enjoyed a different take on Christmas. The Sally's are wonderful people, they were the first in the front lines during the war, my dad served and he said they were there with a cup of tea. Love, Kay.

Kay,
This Christmas Poetry contest submission has strong and emotive words to relay the importance of what giving truly means. God says to take care of orphans, widows and the poor. Nice C alliterations. All the best in the contest! :0 GracieAnn
