Christmas Love

Ah this morning with smiles bright
The tree and gifts arranged just right
With child-like joy our hearts leap
As we brush aside our morning sleep
To find our way around the tree
Somewhat shy about what we’ll see
And hug and hold greetings as we hum
Christmas songs as if we were alum
Of another time and place in our minds
For the child within us, remembers those rhymes
And after all isn’t that what it’s all about
Regardless the gifts we shall gush about
So that our appreciation is shown
And our love for each other known
For the gift is not the present
It is all the love they represent
