What Christmas Means To Me

The time to gather 
Round the table with love
To remember and praise
The love we receive from above
The time to be thankful for what
We have and feel blessed
The time to remember and help those
Who have much much less
The time to give back 
For blessings we've received
The time to look back
On all we've achieved
The time to hold loved ones close
And tell them how much they mean
The time to remember those we've lost who can no longer be seen 
A time of love, a time of hope
A time to let our doubts and fears free
This is, most of all
What Christmas means to me

I was at first skeptical; seeing a Christmas poem in January. But I really admire the message behind this, Candice. Great use of repetition.
