Magic Wand

If I had a magic wand

wand to drive away their sorrows

sorrows etched across their eyes

eyes that may never see tomorrow

If I had the power to heal

heal those wheelchair-bound

bound like friends inseparable

inseparable from the grinding sound

Abandoned in Old Age Homes

homes that have given them shelter

Shelter from the cruel world 

World who forgot they matter

Kindly Nuns true to their calling

Calling to serve these aged ladies

Ladies who were mothers to sons

Sons now finding caring too weighty

Christmas is synonymous with giving

Giving love, gifts, to the forlorn

Forlorn as a stray from the human race

Race we must to repair hearts torn

Two hours of quality time spent

Spent to spread Christmas spirit

Spirits uplifted with entertainment

Entertainment provided with our visit.
