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

Yes, we all can get caught up in the material world yet love, life and health are what's really important and easy to take for granted!! Thank you Jan for your kind words for me always xxoo

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.

Amen! And oh what love, a ribbon - a star, a birth from in high, our savior he cries (a human element he shares with all little ones). God bless!
