Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

The Only Christmas Gift

In kingdoms known by all the lands
             in which the Royal court commands
The celebration must begin
             with love found of the hearts within

December rules this favorite time
                as hopes build in this winter clime
For as this day is drawing near
           They all know Christmas time is here

And as this story’s book reveals
                   with Royal writs and Royal seals
This proclamation is at hand
                    for everything to be as planned  

The bells have rung, the goose is cooked
             the joy is found by all who’ve looked
The trees of light are on display
              and now it’s time for Christmas day

And as for gifts to be on show
                there is but one that they all know
For in these lands so far above
                       The only christmas gift is love

Jenna Logan December 6, 2022 at 9:20 AM Jesus gave His life for us, an act of unselfish love. The greatest give we can offer to anyone is the love we have for them in our hearts, and it's a gift we can offer them every day. Loved your lines, Mike.
