Love Poem: Christmas Love

Christmas Love


Tinsel, glitter, angel hair,
     A fresh-cut evergreen tree,
          Colored balls and lights that glare
               Help to foster Christmas glee.

Bright-wrapped presents, large and small,
     Jingling bells and Christmas songs,
          Cold, crisp air and Santa's call...
               This, at Christmas time, belongs.

But this is just the outer wrap
     On a gift much more divine,
          That may become a real trap
               If we do not read the sign,

“Before Christmas, open dear,
     Hold it up for all to see,
          Spread it round throughout the year,
               Let it flow so pure and free”.

Keep unwrapped this gift called Love,
     Buried neath the cards and bows,
          The gift that came down from above...
               Christmas Love—outshines, outglows!
