Gifts

Season festoon of love decorate the heart

they are the presents wrapped in hugs,

the surprise that remain treasures through life.

 

Amid the tinsel, gold and silver bows,

among the piney towers of magic,

which whisper their secrets to tender minds,

there is no more perfect gift

a better blessing for any child,

than to have hope’s trimmings kept alive

so they become a festive light within

that keeps on shining in any night.

 

It is the spell that inspires,

keeps eyes looking for miracles

after the holiday décor is gone

because it was shared by a parent

who learned it when also a child

and savored that enchanted

as a tale of belief meant to last a life time.
