Christmas Love
Tinsel, glitter, angel hair,
A fresh-cut evergreen tree,
Colored balls and lights that glare
Help to foster Christmas glee.
Bright-wrapped presents, large and small,
Jingling bells and Christmas songs,
Cold, crisp air and Santa's call...
This, at Christmas time, belongs.
But this is just the outer wrap
On a gift much more divine,
That may become a real trap
If we do not read the sign,
“Before Christmas, open dear,
Hold it up for all to see,
Spread it round throughout the year,
Let it flow so pure and free”.
Keep unwrapped this gift called Love,
Buried neath the cards and bows,
The gift that came down from above...
Christmas Love—outshines, outglows!
