That special Christmas gift
Decisions, decisions, just which present should I buy?
Get them something familiar, or something new to try!
There are so many choices all staring back at me,
That it’s hard to decide which one of them it should be.
How do I select the present that will be just right?
Surely it’s here somewhere, it must soon come into sight.
When it comes to choosing which Christmas gift is the best,
There is that one special gift that beats all of the rest.
This Christmas gift will not be found sitting on a shelf,
But comes from your heart, from giving a piece of yourself.
Of kindness and thoughtfulness in the deeds that you do,
Of giving your time when they need your help to get through.
Listening to them in those times they are feeling low,
Encouraging them to try and take another go.
Saying ‘Merry Christmas’ to a stranger walking past,
Gives to them your smile and some Christmas cheer that will last.
Our thoughts and actions, with kindness and love woven through,
Creates those special Christmas gifts that come just from you.
