A Simple Gift For Christmas Poem by Monica Engeler

I stand before our Christmas tree
admiring the beauty of the lights
My spirit is full of joy of what I see
It's the magic of Christmas night.

Sadly a tear drop weeps my face
I look behind me to find my way
Then a new tear falls with no trace.
The Christmas charm is to stay.

The glow of the season summons
Why not, It is the night of glory to be,
But my thoughts are to the heavens
I search for the lights above the tree.

Then I stare at the star on the tree
It shines gold and ever so brilliant
The light sends hope for all to see
Tomorrow the day will be radiant
.
There will be gifts under the tree
Do you recall what you wished for?
Maybe one gift will be for me?
A simple gift is better than more.

I wished for a gift of moms smile
It is a small wish for me to obtain
I want to remember her for awhile
Then let it be a smile for me to attain.

A plain gift is sometimes bright
And sometimes a gift is just a grin
Christmas is for hopes starry night.
It's for the memories with no sin.
