Oh the comfort--
the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person--
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but pouring them all right out,
just as they are,
chaff and grain together,
certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping,
and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

A Christmas Wish

This poem is dated 12/20/32  A woman named Ruth Brown must have shared this poem at a December Willing Workers meeting.  This is a nice little holiday prayer.

Wherever there is sickness,
   May Santa Claus bring health;
The Caption Edgar A. Guest is actually for a poem pasted above
The Christmas Wish. There is no author attributed to this poem.
Wherever there is poverty,
   May Santa Claus bring wealth;

Wherever one is weeping,
   May tears to smiles give way;
Wherever sadness hovers,
   May joy come Christmas Day.

To every heart that's aching,
   May peace and comfort come,

And may an outlook rosy
   Supplant each outlook glum;

May friends now separated
   Reunited be to stay,

And everyone find gladness
   Upon this Christmas Day.
