Poetic Verses
Gifts
The sun came up quite early
On this cold December morn
And filled my heart with gladness
That the Christ child had been born.
And with the new day's dawning
It now is Christmas Day
When loved ones will be gathering
On this special holiday.
Then I thought about those precious
Who went on years before
And find in quiet reflection
That I miss them even more.
As the memories consumed me
I started to forget
That I should be excited for
Any gifts that I might get.
But I prefer that kindred love
And to know that Christ is King
To any other gift in life
This time of year might bring.

Who went on years before

And to know that Christ is King
