Dear Military Families:

Hello.  I am a housewife, mother of a son with Autism, author, poet and disability advocate.  I also do poetry readings at nursing homes and residential home facilities, churches and commuity programs in my community.  I have also sent poems over to our soldiers fighting in Iraq.  For the past year or so due to a cut in my family budget I have not been able to send packages of  poems over to the soldiers, and I have felt so bad about it.  Please know the soldiers are in my prayers.  My thoughts are with you and your families.  I know during this holiday season you must be missing your loved ones.  I wanted you to know the soldiers are in my prayers.  May God watch over them day and night.  I thought I share with you one of my poems I hope will be a comfort to you, your families and your loved ones.  The poem is  a Christmas Greeting poem I have written.   I hope you will enjoy the poem.  Wishing you and your families a wonderful Christmas holiday.

A Merry Christams Card Poem

By Doris Washington

May your holiday be lovely, and bright.

May the angels from above watch over you day and night.

May you be blessed with many greetings, and gifts from the ones

you cherish and love.

And may you come to know God's Grace from above.

For I Wish You

Merry Christmas!
