Paper Have Not
Paper Have Not
Cut down an evergreen
Cut up wrapping paper
Paper wrap presents
Paper covered with bows ribbons
Ribbons silks new and old
Ribbons sparkle blue and gold
Gold yellow some in texture
Texture ribbons half inches
Inches celebrated wrap
wrap presents under tree
Tree decorated simply
Simply covered in tinsel
Tinsel threw on by children
Children waiting for Christmas
Morning comes
Comes down the stairs
Stairs all the family
Family gathers
Gathers round the tree
Tree lit flashing so pretty
Pretty little girls
Girls pink pajamas
Pajamas blue boys
Boys wanting toys
Toys for all children
Children unwrap
Unwrap presents
Presents our parents
Parents holding hands
Hands unwrapping gifts
Gifts provided
Provided by God
God greatest gift Jesus greatest of all
All gathered together
Together forever
Forever spiritually physically
Physically we hug
Hug expressions of love
Love in action
Actions louder than words
Words so expressed
Expressed blessings
Blessings are fervent
Fervent is prayer
Prayer for what we have
Have what we not
Not all is lost cause
Cause we have Christ
Christ is gift not
