I ONLY HAVE ONE GIFT

I ONLY HAVE ONE GIFT

A Poem by DONALD EISSLER
"

WHAT ONE GIFT AT CHRISTMAS CAN MEAN SO MUCH

"

I only have one gift
For you on Christmas day
Hope you really like it
For it has a lot to say
.
The paper that it's wrapped in
Will be of snowflake white
Garnished with a lace of ribbon
Coming from your Christmas Knight
.
Inside there won't be diamonds
Or earrings made of gold
You'll never have to open it
Still it's beauty will unfold
.
Yet it will sparkle like the diamond
Give off a thousand beams of light
Brighten up your darkest hours
Guide you through a moonless night
.
For there is a special gift inside
One that you can never see
It will be the most important gift
Underneath your Christmas tree
.
For when you're feeling lonely
And maybe sometimes blue
You'll only have to hold my gift
And know I think of you
.
So never do unwrap it
Please leave the ribbon tied
Hold it close to your heart
For it's filled with love inside
