CHRISTMAS DAY IS HERE
Doors adorned in wreaths and bells
trees aglimmer with lights and balls
tinsel strings glittering
presents wrapped in ribbons and bows
peeking out from beneath the limbs
shimmering eyes of both young and old
packages named so lovingly
squeals of delight come down the hall
Christmas's past hung with care
captured forever in ornamental history
misting eyes
with bittersweet
memories
delicate scents of the Christmas meal
scenting the air before breakfast's served
the greatest gift of all
not under the tree
but deep within the heart
of you
and me
the father above sent his son
born a man to protect his own
the manger scene fresh and sweet
there on the mantle
now complete
as we give
as we recieve
let us not forget
the simplicity
of a gift of peace
a gift of GOD
the gift to us
of ETERNAL LOVE
and FORGIVENESS DIVINE
the gift of JESUS
GOD'S ONLY SON
Right now this day,
I bow my head
and say a prayer
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
MERRY CHRISTMAS too
PEACE
LOVE
and JOY
from me to YOU!
