The Perfect Christmas Gift

Busy streets and shopping spree.

People were so naive of  what gift to give.

Is it fancy bags or jewelries?

A huge toys or high end gadgets?

Everything that's worth and the best.

The best of the worthiest.

Price tags must be prioritized.

Empty pockets were left behind.

The season of hope and joy.

Pandemic consumerism valors.

Who wouldn't be delighted to received,

a gift in a fancy wrapper be achieved.

Christmas day isn't cost a thing.

But the love,peace and contentment,

the  most valuable thing  we can share.

Spreading love can win world peace.

Enlightened heart meets happiness.

Let's bear in mind that King was born,

To lead the world into salvation.

- I so agree with your words in your poem,AiyaH !!! :) - My family has become very "clever" to share more joy and care - less gifts - We share fun and joy - eating good food together. - And best of all .... the wallet is not EMPTY. - oxox // Anne-Lise :)
