A Christmas Wish


A Christmas Wish

While travelling home on Christmas day
I thought to stop along the way,
And stay awhile where poems are made,
My plan to send a wishful cheer
Upon the ending of the year--
A singing merry rhyme
Of brightly glowing lights
And roundly ringing bells
That toll of Christmas time.

But as the verse began to sing
Of heartfelt joys
And first-time toys,
And laugh with happy tears
For life's remember'd years,
A silence fell
Upon the ringing of the bells,
A place unfilled by gifts 'n things
That Christmas always brings.
For what we need of all above
Is that our greatest gift be love.
