This Christmas - I Don't Want Much!

by Edie M. Batstone — Read all 134 poems by Edie M. Batstone

My Christmas wishes are for the simple gifts that truly ring out, and create beautiful shining ripples.

Monday, December 21, 2015

I only want
A Christmas tree
With tiny bells that play,
And underneath, a little water
To give it life each day.

I only want
A song of joy,
Like tinkling bells that play,
To fill me up, like living water,
And lift my life each day.

I only want
A little hope
And happy bells to play,
When I get up on Christmas morning,
To ring in Christmas Day!

I only want
A little peace
And bells that ring and say:
"For all the world - the gift of water
For everyone each day!

A little joy, a little hope,
A little peace to help us cope,
That's water to my little tree,
The one that grows
Inside of me!
Edie Batstone

Water is the gift of life. And tinkling bells are a joy to hear. Who would want anything more this time of year?
