THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL
Little ones
Gather around
Make your wishlists
And send them out...
Wish for toys
Or dolls...
Perhaps even for
A magical music.
Box...
Write it all
In a neat scrawl
That the one
You address
Might read exactly
What you want!
Wish for homemade
Delicacies
Wish for
Marzipan sweets...
Maybe you don't
Believe
Or maybe, you do
Either way, smile
Singing along to
The season's
Merry tunes...
Decorate your homes
With tinsels and
Baubles
Perhaps some
Candles of red,
White and green
Hues...
Let them burn
Setting aglow
In every corner of
Every room!
And when that
Very special day's
Eve comes to
A close
Make sure you
Sleep tight ...
When dawn breaks
On the special day
It's not just
Your wishes that
Have come true
That you shall feel..
Your heart will warm
At gorgeous and simple
Sight
Of a child in a
Manger
He being
Christ the Lord
At midnight, having
Been born.
Hè is the
Greatest gift of
All...!
