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.
