These Christmas Days Poem by Gregory Huyette

On these Christmas days all through our place
We merrily decorate every possible space.
There're lights on the roof and wreaths on the door.
Garland on the banister just adds that much more.
Rainbows of cards brighten tables and walls,
As Santas and the manger enshrine smiling halls.
At the center of attention is our beautiful tree
Adorned with mementos from friends and family.
Piled beneath the foliage under ribbons and bows
Are the symbols reminding us why this season glows.
Not what’s in each box or how many are there,
But the spirit of giving plus the memories we share.
Before the wink of an eye or the twist of a nose
One more year has rushed by so we'd like to propose
That we be kinder and gentler to family & friends
And to all we encounter since our future depends
On the love we give that can't help go both ways
Filling lives with the spirit of these Christmas days.
