Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

Christmas Gifts

She went to the mall and pulled out the card
She wanted it all for she had worked so hard
Going to this store and that store over there
And she wanted even more like she didn't have a care

Up to the next floor as the packages soon would build
It was a lot for sure but this is what she had willed
A few more last minute things and one really special gift
Oh the joy shopping brings and how it gives you such a lift

With so much in hand she could hardly carry anymore
So I couldn't understand as she hit that last store
Lugging all this stuff out and finally finding her car
She soon pulled out but didn't end up going very far

For just over the hill and in a lot just off to the right
A run down house on a hill such a barren looking sight 
Setting the gifts at the door she knocked and drove away
For what this family had in store is really everyone’s story today 

But it’s not on the door step or alongside a tree
It’s in the Manger.
A priceless Gift that many will never open.
Open it up!

Poet Destroyer A December 19, 2013 at 4:54 PM Vincent, sometimes I feel as some folks work hard all year, just to buy that perfect gift without a care. And wow.. Until the ending, everything was fun... This poem is great, and opened my eyes.. I truly mean it Vincent, because of this poem. I'm going to shop, and drop unopened gift near the donation boxes in our area. Sometimes I forget the true meaning of Christams, it's not what we receive-- it's what we give.... Hugs... LINDA
