there’s one christmas gift no one placed under the tree nor could it be boxed for it filled the entire room yet flowed from small human hearts the love that’s gifted each year
sleep filled eyes peer through staircase rails at a christmas bounty the charge of the light brigade restrained only by an uncaring clock that persists in moving slowly towards the designated hour
wrapped in brightly colored paper the boxes containing everything you asked for surround the tree tinselled dreams sparkling like stars await the dawn of christmas day but within the boxes you will find nothing that you need no love
