Uncle Scrooge

Remember Uncle Scrooge
From those Disney cartoons
Also from “A Christmas Carol”
What a terrible life to lead?
Where everything and everyone
Was treated with disdain
Everything and everyone a pain
“Bah humbug” the usual refrain
What a miserable life to lead
No love for your neighbours
No love for your own family
Counting every single penny
Counting every single deed

Do you know anyone who lives like this?
Everything a problem
Everything to displease
The love of God is missing
The love for your fellow man
Everything is displeasing
Everything to be frowned at
No joy in anything
No pleasure to be had
Something is very wrong
Something very bad
Why do some enjoy another’s sadness?
Why do they like to live in misery?
What simple thing is missing?
From their heart, from their soul?
Is it simply a terrible disease?
God help us to be humble
God help us to believe
That those who help others
That those who love to give
Will be rewarded up in heaven
Will find blessings to their soul
When giving to help another
Is all that matters: is their foremost goal!
