The Time Has Come Poem by R. K. Hart

The time has come pack them away,
Therefore, for another year out of sight they stay.
Bells, glitter and candy canes into a box,
Twinkling lights, angels, and Christmas socks.

Out of sight go the Christmas trees and stars,
Moreover under tree gifts and wise men from a far.
Calico horses, and elephants packed for the year,
All stored for 52 weeks in a plastic bag clear.

But a family's love stays for all to see,
It is given without charge and free.
So lets us show, not place into boxes and bags,
A love that comes to families wealthy or in rags.
