Did you ever hear the story of the christmas tree
Who just didn't want to change the show
He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels
He liked icycles and snow

He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears
And critters and creatures that crawled
Why bugs were some of his very best friends
Spiders and ants and all

Now that's not to say that he ever looked down
On a vision of twinkled lights
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes
And a thousand other delights

And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer
And a jolly old man in a sleigh
Full of toys and presents and wonderful things
And a story of christmas day

Oh, alfie believed in christmas alright
He was full of christmas cheer
All of each and every day
And all throughout the year

To him it was more than a special time
Much more than a special day
It was more than a special story, it was more than a beautiful story
It was a special kind of way

You see some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
And they've never heard of santa claus
They've never heard the story of the son of god
That made alfie pause

Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth
Or the brotherhood of man
Or know how to love, or know how to give
If they can't no one can

You see, life is a very special kind of thing
Not just for a chosen few
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just me and you

So when you're at christmas prayers this year
Alfie asked me if i'd ask you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
And those who live there too

so i know its a little cheezy, its from a kids cd anyways, lol... but seriously some good thought... i mean while we are busy being full of Christmas joy and showing love and prayers for eachother it would be a good idea to take a moment and just say a prayer that we will be wise with ALL that God has given us, especialy with the start of a new year... that we will learn to appreciate the beauty around us and be wise enough to see how to use God's gifts throughout nature without abusing them.... yes i know i'm an odd ball conservationist conservative christian which you really don't see much of, but i would think you should see more, especialy as a Christian we should understand that God put us here to TAKE CARE of His creation, not destroy it... Yes we can use things, but dont abuse them... so say a prayer this Christmas and New Years that we will be wise in our use of God's gifts whatever they may be... aight, i'm done :-)

"it's in every one of us, to be wise
i'm your heart open up both your eyes.."
