In a harried world, one eagerly awaits the peace and joy of Christmas.


Poem Artwork

Gifts are wrapped,
hair is done
I'm ready for the arrival
of the chosen one.

To celebrate,
I'll wear my best dress,
but it doesn't really matter,
I must confess.

I've gotten all caught up
and I've lost sight
of the things most important
on this Christmas night.

Did I open my heart gladly
to someone in need?
It matters more
than the glitter on my tree.

And if I decided
that I could take time
to chat with a friend,
perhaps the joy is mine.

So if I am haphazard
with the wrapping of gifts,
decorating the tree,
or fulfilling each wish

Please understand
I, in my own way, take part
Christmas isn't in the wallet,
but in my heart.

Beautifully expressed way of living Christmas. Every day now I'm leaving my busy routine to make a call to relatives or friends that I haven't talked to in a very long time

Indeed. Your priorities are straight. The commercialization of Christmas is a curse (of sorts). Incidentally, those drinks in that image look way too fattening. (-: Merry Christmas. rlc
