Time to remember



We sit at home within the warmth,watching telly, food we've had all in our belly.
But let's just think of those ,that's  got  less than us ! Our Christmas day is just a buzz. But to those whose homeless on the street , looking for a doorway to get some sleep . We pass them by and scoff at them ,saying scum bags get a job then ! , We label those that's on our streets as begging bxxxxxds.who don't work for their keep. Times this year has been hard for most ,covid pandemic took its course. It's robbed the jobs of those we've loved . Caused broken homes,and children's love Made it hard for families too be together,
Half now ended up on the streets forever . I myself (a pensioner now). Still has good quality of life . Altho money now not alot , yet id give willingly a fellow one ,on the street second to none . A cup of tea ,a chat ,a hug ,a Christmas dinner,whether it be in a mug . So all I say of my fellow men !! Remember others now and then . Don't label them ,as down and outs their circumstances we know nowt About. Stretch out a hand of kindness this year !!! Give these poor souls a touch of good cheer.
