The Gifts of the Season

Twas the day before Christmas and all 'round my heart,

were wrapped strings and connections

from which I did not want to part.
⍋ ⍋ ⍋⍋

What's it about anyway?

Is it gifts, songs, family,

or about what no one can take away?
⍋ ⍋ ⍋⍋

I'd rather have it be about the latter

than simply all the cling and clatter.
⍋ ⍋ ⍋⍋

So even if for just a moment,

I'll remain in the quiet spirit

of all that Jesus' birth did cement.
