Christmas Ornaments Poem by louis rams

10/23/10


There is a Christmas ornament that can not be seen
It is a hidden Christmas ornament between you and me.
It is not an ornament that you can hang from a tree
This ornament lives in our hearts
And like a crystal it can be torn apart.

It is as soft and as beautiful as any you’d see on a tree
But the difference is, it’s between you and me.
This ornament is a symbol of our love
And it is not man made, but it is something
That we could take to our graves.

This ornament has more colors than a rainbow
And it’s worth much more than gold.
It is something that we feel
Not something that we hold.

I join my hands together and stretch them
Out towards you, there is nothing laying there
That can be seen by the naked eye
But if you look deep- my heart you will find.

So to all people- let this be the gift that we share
For all the world to see.
The beauties “that are within you and me“.

it is something that you can not mold or bend
For it is heaven sent.
