The Perfect Gift

The perfect gift
presented in the poorest wrappings
The perfect gift
free of superficial trappings
The perfect gift
born of lowly circumstance
The perfect gift
seemed so common at first glance

This gift is love
in the form of a child
This gift is love
a nature sweet and mild
This gift is love
wrapped in simple swaddling clothes
This gift is love
given so the whole world knows

Christ is this gift
of love in the form of a man
Christ is this gift
of perfection in God’s plan
Christ is this gift
of God, the Father from above
Christ is this gift
Jesus, his name is LOVE

Cheryl; This poem is so incredibly beautiful! Welcome to Spiritual! Thank you for this wonderful inspiration! Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Cheryl,

Wow... Gosh ... what a small world?  Hey, I'm so glad to read your poems over here because I wanted to but I was having trouble responding over there ....  Anyway, this is a splendid repetitive poem that makes the message of Christ so very clear .... Welcome to Passions and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family.  -Bob
