This is probably my first poem on an internet writing site. I look at it after a period of three years and find the gift still new and fresh.
The Gift
I unwrapped it with joy
Relishing it every moment
Enjoying every breeze of warmth
Of being loved.
I got the gift one day
Yet I get it every day
It’s a gift ever new, ever loving
Ever gladdening
The gift I’ve not kept away
I’ve enshrined it in the sanctuary
Of my innermost being
It lives with me in my breath.
The gift that blesses me
Inspires and strengthens me
Leads and guides me
The gift called Emmanuel
The gift brought to me
On a December Day
By an eternal Santa Claus
The divine gift most precious
I unwrapped it with joy
Relishing it every moment
Enjoying every breeze of warmth
Of being loved.
I got the gift one day
Yet I get it every day
It’s a gift ever new, ever loving
Ever gladdening
The gift I’ve not kept away
I’ve enshrined it in the sanctuary
Of my innermost being
It lives with me in my breath.
The gift that blesses me
Inspires and strengthens me
Leads and guides me
The gift called Emmanuel
The gift brought to me
On a December Day
By an eternal Santa Claus
The divine gift most precious
