'Merry Christmas' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Remind someone they remain,
To stay loved.
With a doing to find the time,
Saying it.
No gift to wrap can do that.
Nor can any expense paid,
Replace words heard to cherish.
Throughout the year to hear.
Seeing someone smile,
From ear to ear brings cheer...
Everyday.
To witness seen much longer,
After a gift to give...
Impressively wrapped,
Has been forgotten.
And the price tag left,
To claim a forgetting...
It being attached.

Love to have to express,
Everyday...
Makes saying 'Merry Christmas',
Much more meaningful...
Than gifts we give and get.
