Lights will add a special touch
but never nearly show as much
as what lies within the heart;
the gift of love, we so impart.
Balls of red, white, and gold
sparkling on the branches, bold
cannot compare to life's true gift;
the warmth we give, for souls to lift.
Silver tinsel on the tree
casting glows so festively
still won't bring the joy and peace
of girls and boys with deeper pleas.
Stars that sit high on the crown
of evergreens, shining down
will only light the way to see
majestic love in harmony.
So decorate the tree this year,
with more than sparkly things.
Hang love upon the highest branch
and think of the smiles it brings.
Place each present with it's bow
under the fronds of Christmas tradition,
find the spirit within your heart,
and to the soul of the season, please listen.
Lights and glitter may make it pretty,
but what comes from inside, now that is beauty.
(Doesn't matter what's under the tree
but instead, what comes from the heart.
Give the gift of yourself, you'll smile much more!)
