Poem – The Love Of Christmas

We gather together for holiday cheer.
We always do it at this time of year.
We take the time to decorate a tree.
We remember children giggling in glee.

Light the candles and remember those we love.
Create more peace and fly like a dove.
With the branches of freedom in its beak.
This is a season with a joyous mystique.

Take the time to rest and review.
Promise yourself to do something new.
Use the china that has been passed down.
Remember to smile even if no one is around.

Make extra cookies and cakes.
Sharing what you have is not a mistake.
The fastest way to find peace.
Is to remember that love will never cease.

When it is cold with ice and snow.
Remember that home is the place to go.
Without the love to spread around.
Hope will be lost and never found.
