'Nothing To Spend This Christmas' Poem by Linda Winchell

I have nothing to spend this Christmas
Don't even have a dime to spare.
I know your always telling me, 'Don't worry'
and that you really, didn't care.

But it's myself that wants to give you something
to show how much I care.
And that you mean so much to me, my darling
and that, I really did want, a gift to share.

I wanted to place something under the tree
but we haven't money, for even that this year.
We have really run into some hard times, it seems
and I know your trying dear.

Your working all the hours you can
to provide us, with a decent life.
I am blessed to have a husband like you
who provides me, such a life.

I think I'll give you the gift of this poem
for it is all I have right now.
And maybe next year, I will be able to wrap
a gift or two, somehow?

I count each day my blessing
and at the top of that list, there's you!
For it is the only gift, I could ever want
my gift is in this poem, of me forever dear loving you!

'Merry Christmas'
