Season of Love

Holidays are here, and with them
    comes the time of celebration
times of love and laughter
    times of joy and exultation.

Moms and grandmas busy
    planning out the special dinner,
while dads and grandpas talk about
    who’ll be the playoffs winner.

Kids are full of laughter
    cousins run and play together
while aunts and uncles gather
    to discuss the news and weather.

Times are hard - but love is here,
    and this is the real treasure.
It’s not about what we can buy -
    it’s that we’re all together.

It’s more than gifts or parties
    so much more than buying toys,
it’s not about the money spent.
    It’s all about the joys

of being loved by those most dear
    to us and loving them;
of reaching out to those in need
    to be a helping friend.

It’s not about what food we eat
    nor the clothes we wear

the real celebration -
      love’s free gift,
            our hearts forever
                in its warm care.


Merry Christmas.   May you have a warm and blessed Season of Love.

    I like this, although ...

    since I can't really anticipate what kind of poems I'll get here, I will reserve judgement, as it might have a chance in the final analysis. I don't think this is a "Gold" entry, but it's still a possibility to place, depending on what the quality is of the other entries.

    A major error which you might want to correct, is the "it's" in the last line, which should be "its". "It's" means "it is", and is what is known as a contraction. The form you want is "its" which is the possessive you need there.

    I wrote a Christmas poem quite similar to this one a while back, actually. Good luck with your writing in the future, regardless of how you do in this contest.

      Thank you for pointing this out to me. I know better than that, LOL... it was an oversight on my part. Much appreciation, and thanks for your comment.

        Unfortunately ...

        there are far too many here who DON'T know the difference. I'm glad you do.
