The Kindness of Sharing Good Cheer

"This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone."
~ Taylor Caldwell

'Twas a few nights before Christmas
And all through the house
Everyone was still sleeping
Except a bleary-eyed Mom.
Before dawn, she awoke
and through sleepy eyes,
got up to wrap more gifts
for the teachers' surprise.
It was dark and she was tired
And she wondered
how she would get it all done.
When all of a sudden,
a small light caught her eye.
She looked at her cell phone and saw
a text ready to read
from her other-side-of-the-world friend,
14 hours ahead.
She read her friend's message
And was delighted to feel
A smile spread across her face
And a sense of good cheer.

Merry Christmas to all!
And to all a good night.
