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!

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
