THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL


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...!
