Notes About The Poem

The Gift of Christmas

Let one bell toll for each and every soul in this most joyous season
     To remind our hearts of a greater gift that lifts our lives with reason
     Renewed with hope, with love and peace, reborn each Christmas day
     From Grace we're shown the greater plan by a child that led the way

     To live this life in virtuous light, it's worth dispelling wrongs
     Would surely leave its epitaph sung in loves most enduring songs
     With extended hands and spirits full, that never bend or sway
     Could truly be the greatest gift for the child that led the way.
