~~  The Perfect Gift  ~~


Art by Morgan Weistling


Christmas is the best time of the year
Not only because we have family and friends near
But because it reminds us of the most beautiful kind of love
That only exists within the Heavens above

So many have forgotten the true meaning of this day
And what exactly we all have been blessed with along our way
It matters not if we are rich, poor, old, young or small
The true meaning of this day is a gift for the hearts of all

If we were to pause a minute then our eyes would see
There is more to Christmas then what lies beneath the tree
It matters not what gift to another we give or we receive
Christmas day should be a time for all hearts to believe

In the Heavenly gift God has given to each and everyone
For He gave to us His One and Only Begotten Son
And knowing this priceless gift is ours and ours alone
Is the greatest gift any heart could ever own

For in the true meaning of Christmas we are able to find
The love and peace within the heart, soul and mind
A wonderful feeling in which with others we are able to share
For God has given our hearts the perfect gift to wear

Whether Christmas is spent with love ones far or near
The true meaning of this day is what fills the heart with cheer
So let us not forget the importance of Christmas Day
When Christ the King was born in a manager far away.
