Understanding the why of it all, I think |
The Grinch The Grinch hateful,mean and just plain not nice or at least that’s what we are told However maybe just maybe there’s more to unfold He was despicable and despised by all in the town not just most He hated their joy because they didn’t include him They sang,danced and celebrated all without him The gave him not a second thought So therefore he was bitter It also seemed to him that they were rubbing their joy in his face He seemed capable of love however because he loved his dog Max So seemingly he wasn’t all bad He feed the dog,provided him with company and gave the dog a home Someone so lost and hateful won’t love anyone you would think However he was just hurt that’s what drove his hate Hurt by their rejection and their indifference Christmas is about Christ,love and family supposedly however not for him It was just a reminder of all his pain,dismay and rejection They never showed any love to him for 53 years or so the story goes That could make you bitter for sure Maybe the issue didn’t only lie with the Grinch Maybe we should give every Grinch a second thought no matter if it’s Christmas or not Maybe our love will make the difference you see No one should have to wait 53 years for true love and happiness If he hadn’t tried to steal Christmas you see he would most like still be all alone The stealing of Christmas was the start of his blessing and the end of his pain They never really saw him in all his pain until he brought back the gifts Then the saw that he thought he had been stiffed They never really opened up their hearts to him until that day Closed hearts and a heart 3 sizes too small Clearly everyone needed a little healing that day The Grinch clearly just needed some love and a little understanding The Who’s needed a little more compassion The moral-is make room for everyone even those not like you and even maybe a Grinch! |
