I woke up Christmas morning
and looked under the tree.
What was under there
kind of startled me.
This was no normal present
wrapped in pretty paper.
I wrote a list to Santa,
But he didn't return my favor.
I asked for a slice of cheese
And crackers paved in gold.
But what I found under there
Deserves a story to be told.
This is not a gift that can be seen
or one that can be bought.
It is the strange gift of love,
the kind that can only be sought.
I don't know what I did
to earn this commendable gift.
But whatever it may be
it has given me a lift.
I don't know how I lived before
receiving such a thing,
But now I have it in my life
I feel like a king.

Tremendous spin on the prompt here. =) I am reminded of the fridge magnets that say "love is never having to share your reeces if you don't wanna" Great heartfelt write!
