MERRY CHRISTMAS! Watch this video, then share it. OUR GOAL is to FEED as many people as there are VIEWS by 2015 in 2015. SHARE IT and SET OUR GOAL! (Here is the script to the poem I wrote:) SPAM for Christmas by Eric Samuel Timm Twas weeks before Christmas and all through the world, People were hungry, little boys and little girls. A chance to love them, to feed them, before me, So with a beating heart - my response - I heard their plea. To their land I traveled with things in a pack, I carried food to me, hope to them, upon my back. I was met by family, much like my own, A father and mother with kids I was shown. The mother, she welcomed me into her place, Dirt floor, some things, and so little space. And upon the only shelf my eye did see, A small can of Spam from the far away land of me. Without doubt I asked, You must love Spam, That spam in that can, Upon your shelf? The mother replied, I’ve never had spam. I’m saving that can, For my family and myself. With wonderment I asked, When will you try and taste. That Spam that is canned, Surely it wont go to waste. The mother she paused and then slowly spoke, We were saving it for special meal, so we hope. Last year that Spam was to be eaten by us, We were hoping to, but twas not a must. For the expense was to high, The meal to extravagant for just my family and I. Maybe this year that Spam, That Spam in that can upon my shelf, Will become a Christmas Ham, To feed both my family and myself. Then it hit me like 10000 rocks, As the Christmas I know is one with presents overflowing their box. Plates of turkey, gravy, stuffing, drinks, and ham, But usually not Spam, Not Spam from a can. The weight of that moment caused me to cry, How blessed I am and how thankful should be I. How I forget the things I do not see. How precious that Spam to them, How precious they are to me. I stood on that floor and decreed to earth, Each Christmas I will pause, remember their worth. As I set my table at the end of the year, To come and eat with my family near. I will place a can of spam next to the turkey with care, To remember all those who are not eating there. Eating Spam for Christmas never seemed right, now its a delight. Merry Christmas Everyone, LOVE PEOPLE.
