The Original Christmas Gifts
As
each generation continues on
The
hype of Christmas seems to grow
But
the simple things never change..
Children
never-endingly hope for snow
My
parents reminisce their past
Of
their innocent childhood days
Delighted
with one or two gifts, and
An
orange in the stocking always
It’s
a natural feeling wanting to provide
Your
children with all you possibly can
My
siblings and I had a several more gifts
A
wonderful Christmas, as always, the plan
With
my little Angels the trend continued
My
husband and I strived to give them more
It
began with a large sack full of presents
As
years passed they overflowed to the floor
I
would always make some of the gifts
Knitting
and sewing, I thoroughly enjoyed
Dolls
clothes; a favourite, made many times
Winter
evenings I was merrily employed
But
back then I never gave it a thought
To
the seeds I unknowingly planted
Into
their open, fertile young minds
A
need for more was being started
And
now with my grandchildren I can see
Especially
when money is short, it’s
tough
To
provide all they feel they should give
The
spiral.. will it ever be enough?
Over
the years I continued making some gifts
As
with each new Blessing my family grew
An
often challenge to make-ends-meet
Creating
handmade presents saw me through
But
in recent times I’ve
pondered more on
The
effects, what I’d
change if I could live
Those
Christmases all over again
So,
this is the advise I would give…
Ditch
the relentless consumerism
Impregnated
into the mind
Insistent,
but only about the sell
A
relief and freedom you will find
Simplify
your Christmas
Focus
on the Love and Joy
Being
together and having fun
Instill
this in every girl and boy
Only
give them a few presents
You’ll
be planting the purest seeds
Of
gratitude, Love and acceptance
That
simplicity fulfils all their needs
Make
as many gifts as you can
Developing
your own creativity
Time
spent is a worthwhile investment
In
yourself, you’ll
soon clearly see
Everything
in life is made of energy
Even
objects can contain our thought
Making
gifts with Love enhances them
Much
more than anything ever bought
When
creating for that special person
Always
work with Love in your Heart
Enjoy
the process of your making
Your
higher vibration you will impart
Children
truly learn from example
Easily
accepting the way you show
Teach
them the Joy of simple giving
Their
Hearts will bloom and grow
All
ages of children can take part
In
creating something for those they Love
A
hand drawn around, or simple picture
Giving
easily rises them above
I
know now I would cherish such gifts, from
Children
& grandchildren through the years
A
treasured collection all made with Love
Would
bring Joyous memories and a few tears
It’s
never too late to start
This
poem is not a lament
If
these words ring true to you
Take
action on your intent!
6th December 2018
I give
you this gift
Intending
it to lift
You,
as it did me
In
the making, you see..
All
the hours that went
Into
this present I sent
My
thoughts were of you
And
the time really flew
Love
was in my Heart
Right
from the very start
As
for you, I truly care
My
Love, I want to share
The
true power of thought
Is
not so often taught
What
we do, and do not see
Everything
is Energy
Imbued
in this small thing
Is
the Joy that you bring
To
me, when I think of you
And
my Love is in there too
With
this gift, I impart
A
pure energy from my Heart
Love
& Light,, powerful rays
May
God Bless you, always

Remembering
those happy days
Of
many Christmasses ago
When
innocence fully reigned
And
time passed by so slow
For
many moons, excitement built
Longing
for the day to be here
But
still enjoying every moment
Fond
memories are crystal clear
Christmas
carols, full of Joy
And
fun songs on the radio
Looking
out at the sky
And
wishing it would snow
Taking
part in Nativity plays
Or
singing in a choir
Building
precious memories
To
lift, and to inspire
A
Christmas tree, now indoors
Altogether
to decorate
Tinsel,
lights, an Angel on top
The
natural scent, so great!
Depending
on your age, you might
Still
reminisce when you smell
The
aroma peeling a satsuma
At
Christmas, only available to sell
Counting
the days by calendar
In
time, changed to opening doors
With
a Christmas picture inside
And
now, out chocolate pours!
Another
festive treat to enjoy
Were
nuts, all cracked by Dad
Waiting
your turn to receive
With
only one nutcracker had!
Being
given some spare tinsel
To
play with, making a belt
Or
a crown, to wear, to shine
As
much inside as out
Little
things brought such Joy
And
made an indelible print
On
the path of your life
And
now give off a glint
All
the twinkle of the lights
All
the twinkle of the past
All
the twinkle of the simpleness
All
the twinkle imbued to last

A
story so well known
Each
year its glory shown
As
we celebrate the birth
Of
the King of Kings on Earth
A
virgin birth we are told
Not
all believe this mold
Over
2,000 years gone by
Does
it matter if a lie?
The
traditional Nativity story
Is
full of wondrous glory
But
the Essence is the part
For
us to focus our Heart
With
no place to be found
Born
in a stable to astound
In
the lowest of low
The
King of Kings born to bestow
His
Presence on this Earth
Signaled
at His birth
By
a magnificent shining star
Bringing
others from afar
Shepherds
and Kings
To
all men He brings
No
division, all are One
To
honour God’s Son
Christ
came to be a Light
Shining
hope on human plight
All
through the many years
Easing
humanity’s countless tears
He
taught what He could do
Was
possible for us all too
By
Seeking God Within
Your
Divinity starts to sing
Each
year we get together
Worldwide,
no matter the weather
With
our great Love for family
Delightful
Joy we truly see
It
is the Loving Essence
We
give with all our presents
No
frankincense, myrrh or gold
As
in the original story of old
The
King of Kings, our friend
His
Love will never end
Unconditionally
given to All
His
birth we delightfully recall
18th December 2020
A
King born in a stable
A
magical story to behold
Throughout
the many centuries
The
telling still never grows old
No
grandeur at the birth
To
be seen with an Earthly eye
Only
a large guiding star
Shone
brightly in the sky
But
there was a great rejoicing
Going
on in dimensionality
Angels,
many Beings of Light
Were
there, the Babe to see
Celebrating
this precious time
Knowing
of what it would bring
To
the Earth and the humans
Hallelujah,
they did sing!
With
Awareness of God within
Jesus
would show His Divinity
Present
in a human living
In
Earth’s difficult density
Teaching
by His example
Giving
only Light and Love
His
footsteps on the Earth
With
God, not only up above
He
came to tell who’d listen
All
possess His ability
Each
born with God within
Seek
inside to set Love free
Now,
over two thousand years
Since
that momentous birth
Each
year we Joyously celebrate
The
Presence of Jesus on Earth
Born
To Shine His Light
Born
To Guide Our Way
Born
To Unconditionally Love
Born
Here To Always Stay

To a
child Christmas is the most magical time of the year
Full
of wonder and excitement, waiting for Santa and reindeer
Counting
down each day, with even a tree indoors to decorate
Captivating
memories through childhood years accumulate
Each
intense and thrilling Christmas morning, finally arrives
Bringing
presents galore, heaps of fun, and maybe a surprise
Days
of new toys, sweets, and other delicious things to eat
For
Christmas to last forever, they’d
wish in a heartbeat
For
parents Christmas creates a mixture of things
The
stress of it all contrasts the abundance of Joy it brings
Worrying
about what to buy, and how to pay for it all
Disappears
when seeing the delight on their child befall
With
so much to get done, the clock ticks away so fast
But
how they wish the enchantment of that day would last
Because
for their own sweet child, anything they’d
do
To
make all their wishes and dreams come true
Young
siblings at Christmas share the Joys
Of
the escalating excitement thinking of toys
They
might receive, if Santa thinks they’ve
been good
Talking
into the night, how they wish he would
Childhood
Christmas days spent with sister or brother
Amasses
laughter and sharing, to re-discover
In
later years, when in family-get-togethers they meet
And
to another generation their stories repeat
For
teens and young adults Christmas is for fun
Celebrating
with friends, just has to be done
It’s
a balancing act fitting in family and friends
As
their time and attention splits then blends
The
greatest pull can come with blossoming Love
From
their first relationship, as if from Heaven above
First
love at Christmas brings them a new dimension
As the
Joy of giving to Love expands their comprehension
A
Grandparent’s Christmas is full of
timeless memories
Evergreen
moments shared with their beloved families
Going
way back to the times when their children were small
It’s
only the enduring Love and happiness they recall
Time’s
moved on, and now they have grandchildren to treasure
Each
precious jewel brings more Love and the purest pleasure
The
family continues to expand as the years go by
Bliss
of Grandparenthood lifts their Soul sky high
All
through these stages of Christmas days
Life
moves on through time, expanding always
Change
is inevitable, time can not stand still
So
appreciating these moments is vital, to fill
Your
Heart and Soul with Joyous memories
Of
the stages of life spent around Christmas trees
Because
that is what family at Christmas is for
To
celebrate, the Joy and Love you share, above all
8th December 2016
A year
like never before
A world
gripped by fear
Bringing
in its wake
Higher
Truth so clear
Compassion
and Love for all
Walking
this world together
Unity
Consciousness arising
To clear
all stormy weather
As this
year draws to an end
Christmas
Joy helps us elevate
Peace and
Goodwill to all men
No
division and no hate
Christ
Consciousness radiating
Throughout
all humanity
We are
Magnificent Beings
Sovereign
and Truly Free
Jesus,
born to be
A guide,
showing the way
Living as
a Sovereign Soul
We too
can live this today!
17th December 2020
At
Christmas we celebrate the birth
Of
the
Son Of God who
came to Earth
Our
Saviour,
Lord,
Holy One, Messiah
The
King Of Kings to
lift us higher
As
many names, as ways to show
He
came to teach us how to grow
A
Prince
Of Peace, The
Lord
Of All
Would
we listen and heed His call?
The
Lamb
Of God,
Chosen
One,
a Rock
A
Good
Shepherd tending
His flock
The
Way, The Truth And The Life
Light
Of The World to
heal all strife
I
Am,
the Alpha
and Omega
A
Pure Essence, He was eager
To
show the truth ’Emmanuel’
Means
‘God
is with us,‘
He came to tell
The
Nazarene,
the King
Of Jews
He
led the way, but we can choose
Our
thoughts and belief in His way
His
Unconditional Love is here to stay
Now
two thousand years have gone by
Since
the Son
Of Man from
on High
Walked
His Earthly Path in physicality
Yeshua,
a Blessed Guide, for you and me
10th December 2018
As A Child
When
I was a little girl. Christmas was so very exciting
Counting
days, and wondering what Santa would bring
I
loved dolls, books, and writing equipment best of all
It
seems my Path was set, from when I was so small
A
picture of Father Christmas always went up on the wall
Two
weeks before Christmas Day, Santa watched over us all
The
picture had been given to my Dad, when he was a baby
Santa
wrote in his pocket books who was good or naughty
On
Christmas morning Nanny Evelyn would be with us
Watching
the opening of presents. and just to make a fuss
Of
her grandchildren, who she only had a short time to be with
Passing
when I was six, in my Heart she will always live
Once
I had a huge present, from my uncle who lived next door
Boxes
within boxes, revealed a present that was so small
I
don’t
remember how old I was, but I loved the cross and chain
The
excitement and the beautiful gift, happy memories remain
The
nativity story always fascinated me, I read it many times
At
school I was so proud to be the Angel, and given many lines
My
Mother made my robe with wings for me to hold up so high
Another
year, to a class I was the Mother making a mince pie
One
of my favourite things to do was singing in the choir
Christmas
carols, full of Joy, I know now, lifted me higher
What
made it more special was being in Dorchester Abbey
A
Sacred place, with beautiful stained glass windows to see
One
year at my Fathers workplace party, I sat on Santa’s
knee
Unknowing
that under the beard was my own Dad, I couldn’t
see
It
was years later, after a few tellings that I finally knew the truth
I
accepted, let go of the fairytale, losing my innocence of youth
In
my teenage years we had pop music with the radio on,
Top
Of The Pops on TV too, Dad would burst out into song
Slade’s
‘Merry
Christmas Everybody,’
we’d
all be joining in
Mum would
be up, and around the room she’d be
dancing
As A Mother
When
I was a young Mother, Christmas was so wonderfully magical
Although
at first my husbands Christmas Eve tradition seemed radical
No
decorations were put up before the children went to bed
The
Christmas Fairies came with Santa, to do the job instead
The
look of amazement on the children’s
faces on Christmas morn
Made
up for the complete lack of sleep from not going to bed till dawn
Surprise
and delight glowed on little faces when they entered the room
Lights
and colour everywhere, just like a garden in summer’s
full bloom
I
had my own tradition to bring into my growing family
My
Father had given me Santa’s
picture to oversee
My
children, two weeks before Christmas they began to look
The
third generation hoping their names were not in the black book
As
all other Mothers, I wanted my children to havemore than me
From
my one sack, to their sack and presents under the tree
New
outfits to wear, toys to play, books, puzzles, and more
There
is a warming pleasure in giving to the ones we adore
In
early years of their childhood there was no brussel sprout
So
I could spend more time with them, the traditional dinner we left out
When
they were older we decided to begin, and they did appreciate
The
special meal shared together, though sprouts they never ate!
Band
Aid’s
‘Do
They Know It’s
Christmas?’
first came out
Teaching
us how fortunate we were, without a doubt
‘The
Power Of Love,’
from Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Taught
a truth, pure and simple, we all understood
Every
year there were parties, with my husbands family
Grandparents,
siblings, cousins, getting together to see
Sharing
fun with games, and magic tricks into the night
Chatting
away for hours, and setting the world to right
It
took a sad occasion to persuade my husband to spend
Christmas
with my parents, so some support I could lend
My
gentle Nanny Jennie passed, just before Christmas 93
Being
with my Mum for that Christmas was so important to me
In
1995, a totally different Christmas we planned
To
spend our yuletide together, in a hot far-away land
Two
children were getting older, almost ready to move on
Jamaica,
our last holiday together, and then they were gone
All
the delights of Christmas, through my children I lived the days
The
excitement and high spirits, they sparkled in gorgeous ways
When
they were younger I told them the story of the baby from above
They
are my Angels, who came and taught me true Unconditional Love
As A Grandmother
Now
I am a Grandmother, Christmas is plainly simple
It’s
all about the Love we share, but there’s
also a pull
Now
we are not all together, which way do I go?
Spending
time with everyone, my Love I want to show
My
parents may not have many more Christmases to share
And
it really is a time to let those you Love know you care
But
little ones at Christmas bring so much pleasure, and Joys
Their
effervescent spirits light up, I can’t
resist those girls and boys
Through
the generations the same Christmas songs we hear
Although
it seems they get to be played earlier each year
Marching
around the room to Jona Lewie’s
‘Stop
The Cavalry’
Children
and then grandchildren, it is so enchanting to see
Christmas
with your children is the pinnacle of perfection
It’s
not until they are older that you can see the direction
Time
plays tricks, the years seem at first to go so slow
In
the blink of an eye, they’re
gone.. where did the time go?
Watching
the little ones, I see Christmas through their eyes
Wishes,
dreams, the magic and awe of it all, Joy multiplies
Passing
on traditions, memories planted, as Love is shown
Generations
evolve, moving on, and making their own
Christmas
is not about the presents under a pretty tree
It’s
accumulating Love and memories, in your sanctuary
As
generations come and go, Christmas will always be
A
time to share the Love and Joys of being with your family
11th to 15th December 2016
Christmas
is the time
We
sing ‘Peace On Earth’
As
we Joyously celebrate
The
truly wondrous birth
The
baby, Heaven sent
To
shine His Love and Light
Forever
changing our world
Through
the ages, glowing bright
Jesus,
born to be a Guide
As
He walked His Earthly way
Illuminating
the Path of Peace
We
can still follow today
Unconditional
Love and Compassion
Living
each day through our Heart
Forgiveness
to others and ourselves
Is
the way to make a start
Peace
On Earth is our plan
At
Soul level we all agree
And
slow, but sure, it’s presence
Comes
forth for us to see
The
Prince Of Peace was born
To
be the Christed Light
All
man’s dark ages and wars
Could
not dim its pure might
And
now we have passed
The
point of no return
The
path to Peace On Earth
We
can walk with no concern
For
it is now in our sight
Like
never on Earth before
As
many Lighted Souls
Are
living through their Core
They
have raised the planet
As
the Master taught to do
By
following His example
More
Christed-Light shines through
Now
it may seem that there is
So
much going on all around
The
darkness is no longer hidden
As
the Light-Power is so profound
It
is going to take some time
But
it speeds up, you’ll see
As
more Souls are Awakened
More
Peace On Earth there’ll be
Peace
Begins In The Heart
Of
Each And Every Soul
We
all have the choice to make
Is
Peace On Earth your goal?

The
baby in a manger
Looking
human and frail
Possessed
True Divinity
And
came to leave a trail
Known
as the Son of God
Born
on Earth to Inspire
And
lead humanity onwards
To
Evolve Spiritually Higher
He
taught in simple ways
The
Path of Love and Light
Unconditional
Forgiveness To All
Not
judging wrong or right
What
made Him a Master
And
different from everyone
Was
His aligned Awareness
Since
His life begun
Full
of potential at birth
As
all babies truly are
The
Master was Enlightened
Born
with a sign of the star
He
was Fully Aware and Awake
To
The All-That-Is Within
God’s
Essence always present
In
each Heart to Purely sing
The
potential is always there
From
the moment of birth
To
every single human
Living
on this Earth
Freewill
to choose when
Or
even, not at all
God
Within, Always Present
Waiting
for your call
With
Intention and Trust
You
can unlock the door
To
your Divinity Within
And
let Your Potential soar!
14th December 2019
(Based
on the Christmas Carol:
O Little Town Of Bethlehem)
O
little Earth of duality
How
still you show the lie
Some
still deep in dreamless sleep
Awareness
passes by
Yet
in the dark streets there shines
The
Everlasting Light
Waiting
there so patiently
To
meet when your time’s right
The
Cosmos of stars, together
Knew
of the Holy birth
To
bring forth the Heavenly King
Heralding
Peace on Earth
For
Christ was born of Mary
And
so below as above
While
mortals sleep, Spirits keep
Present,
with Unconditional Love
How
silently, how silently
The
wondrous gift is given
So
God imparts to human Hearts
The
Blessings of His Heaven
Freewill
to choose acceptance
Of
the Divine within
Each
chooses if, and when, to walk
The
Christ-Way, to begin
O
Holy Child of Divinity
Come
to show the True way
Eternal
Loving, Peace to bring
Be
born in us today
We
hear the Christmas Angels
And
Joyful, join to tell
You
are in us, please meld with us
Our
Lord Immanuel
5th December 2019
Christmas
is the time we celebrate the birth
Of
the Son of God brought down to our Earth
A
Pure, Unique Master-Being from Heaven above
Sent
to guide through all Eternity with Divine Love
His
birth is a wondrous story, enchantingly told
Mother
Mary young and pure, a Heart of gold
Visited
by an Angel with Heavenly praise
“The
Son of God, you and Joseph shall raise”
Joseph’s
character was obviously strong and good
Although
not the true father, he declared he would
Unite
with Mary and become the Dad
To
Love and support the growing lad
The
story unfolds with drama and suspense
To
Bethlehem they travelled, the journey immense
For
heavily pregnant Mary, arriving on a donkey
Needing
a place to give birth, to be a sanctuary
With
everywhere full, the only place to stay
Was
in a stable, with a manger to lay
The
newborn baby, the Heavenly King
Now
present on Earth, Enlightenment to bring
A
brilliant sign heralded the birth
Notable
enough for many to seek it’s
worth
Kings
or wisemen, and even shepherds too
The
Heavenly star shone to guide them through
Each
came with praise and a gift to give
Knowing
the Son of God was here to live
A
physical life, even from a baby so small
Showing
a connection to God, available to all
Everyone
has their own personal belief
And
I do not wish to cause anyone grief
But
we all decide how much of this tale is true
Our
perceptions give us our own unique view
I asked
for guidance before beginning to write
Asking
to share some Loving Christmas ‘Light’
What
came to me at that moment, for what it’s
worth
Is
the Divine importance of every single human birth
Jesus
grew up knowing He was God’s
Son
No
limits were placed, He was the One
Sent
to Earth to share true Love Divine
And
through eternity, boundless by time
With
no restrictions to cause Him doubt
He
grew to share God’s
Love throughout
His
life while here upon this Earth
All
starting with that momentous birth
If
the King of Kings can be born in a stable
What
of other births? We should be able
To
see the wisdom and Light showing us the way
To
celebrate the truth of births ,each and every day
For
all Mothers are pure with Hearts of gold
And
Fathers, if present, strong and bold
Each
one is doing the best they can do
Which
is all that God asks of you
No
matter where the birth will take place
The
Divine is there, but you won’t
see a trace
Lowly
or regal, it matters not who you are
Beings
of Love and Light come from afar
They
come to witness the transition of a Soul
On
it’s journey to
Earth to learn to be whole
In
physical form, the journey it takes
To
become Aware as the Spirit Awakes
For
every single baby contains God in their Heart
Illuminating
so brightly right from the start
If
we placed no limits or doubts in their minds
Their
genuine Divine Presence in life we would find
8th December 2016
Thousands
of years have gone by
With
many Master-Beings from on High
Sent
down to teach the people of Earth
The
Message they knew at their birth
Jesus,
Mohammed, Buddha are the same
Although
to different peoples they came
Their
Message through the centuries echo
But
at our core we already know
We
are ONE ~ Beings of Love and Light
We
are ONE ~ Love is the Way to Unite
Watching
over your life, and mine
Are
Celestial Beings from the Divine
With
Hearts of gold and wings of pure white
Unconditional
Love is their Heavenly delight
We
each have our own Guardian Angel too
Always
at our side to guide us through
Whispering
gently into our inner ear
The
Message, we already know, so clear
We
are ONE ~ Beings of Love and Light
We
are ONE ~ Love is the Way to Unite
There
have always been people around
Who
through their own life Path have found
The
Message, wanting to show and convey
To
others, so they can find their own way
They
bring forth the wisdom and sing God’s
praise
Gurus,
Teachers, Authors, there are many ways
To
teach what we already believe in our Heart
The
Message they lived their life to impart
We
are ONE ~ Beings of Love and Light
We
are ONE ~ Love is the Way to Unite
All
around us and everywhere
Is
another dimension, always there
Where
we come from, and we will go
At
the end of this life, an eternal flow
Spirit
is our true and pure essence
Opening
up, we can feel their presence
Showing
us The Message, anyway they can
We
came already knowing the plan
We
are ONE ~ Beings of Love and Light
We
are ONE ~ Love is the Way to Unite
Star
Seeds and Indigos are names given
To
some children, who are now living
Among
us, bringing their insightfulness
Showing
The Way, our lives are Blessed
But
also children with a ‘special
need’
Are
here to teach, our Hearts to heed
For
they bring The Message, loud and strong
There
never is anything, with us ‘wrong’
We
are ONE ~ Beings of Love and Light
We
are ONE ~ Love is the Way to Unite
We
all have a connection to our Source
Remembering
this, we can stay on course
But
we tend to get pulled by Earth’s
density
Spiralling
down, tangled in the nitty-gritty
Recognizing
this is a lesson to learn
And
then to our Inner Guidance we can turn
The
more we connect, the stronger we’ll
be
And
The Message we’ll
remember, and see
We
are ONE ~ Beings of Love and Light
We
are ONE ~ Love is the Way to Unite
Embodying
The Message. our lives will arrange
The
course of history to make a great change
No
wars or conflicts, expressing we are One
What
we do to another, to our-self is done
We
do not have to agree on everything
Respecting
diversity, the truth will bring
Enlightenment
to our Heart, and our mind
To
everyone we’ll
be Loving and kind
We
are ONE ~ Beings of Love and Light
We
are ONE ~ Love is the Way to Unite
Human
Beings come in all colours and size
Living
The Message, we open our eyes
To
seeing the beauty in One-and-All
Negative
filters of the mind’s
eye will fall
Being
The Message, the veil is raised
No
more shadows will be cast on our days
Setting
Love as our moment-to-moment priority
We’d
be living in Joyous, Peace and Beauty
We
are ONE ~ Beings of Love and Light
We
are ONE ~ Love is the Way to Unite
I
Am One ~ United with you
God
is Love, flowing through

Giving
gifts at Christmas
Has
always been a part
Of
the Christmas tradition
Right
from the very start
Three
wise men, magi,
Or
Kings, we are told
Were
the first with gifts
Frankincense,
myrrh and gold
Traveling
a great distance
Following
the heralding star
They
came to give homage
From
their lands of afar
Giving
valuable gifts
To
the newborn, Divine King
To
represent His Presence
Why
these, did they bring?
Gold,
a precious metal
Of
worth, fit for ROYALTY
Giving
status to the ‘King’
His
Highness, for all to see
Frankincense,
an incense
His
DIVINITY to represent
An
anointment in worship
For
the Babe, Heavenly sent
Myrrh,
a valuable oil
To
signify His HUMANITY
Medicinal,
and used in death
Humans
united in destiny
Gold
for a Royal King
Myrrh
for His Human part
Frankincense
for the God
He
truly was at Heart
And
now, eons passed
We
still use this tradition
Although
consumerism’s made
Gift
buying such a mission!
Many
now seek simplicity
Bringing
Christmas back at last
To
the innocence and the Joy
Of
the Christmasses of past
These
first gifts can be used
As
a symbol, even today
Their
wisdom can be a guide
To
show another way
Give
a Royal Gift Of Gold
Nothing
to do with money spent
Something
they want or need
Individual
‘worthiness’ intent
Give
Divine Frankincense
In
a Spiritual Growth Gift
From
development, or just fun
To
let their Spirit Lighten, and lift
Give
the Humanity of Myrrh
Anything
worn, in various forms
Or
enhances the physicalness
More
than just the body warms!
Something
for their physical body
Something
to quench their desire
But
especially remember to give
Something
to lift their Spirit Higher!
