Heart

No money to spend.
	No gifts to give
	I felt I failed my little kid
	
	Then she looked up and smiled, 
	With nothing under the tree

	But a loaf of bread for breakfast 
	And a cup of unsweetened tea.
	She said, I know times are hard.
	But I don’t care, I only want Christmas
	If you are there.

	That was the sweetest part,
	Then I realized Christmas come from with in the heart.

Hi Gabby! I think this is the first poem of yours that I'm reading; very impressive. So true that Christmas comes from the heart...it's not the material things that make it. Congratulations on a lovely win. // paul
