~* Christmas In Our Hearts~*


Don’t be sad if you only see a few presents
because each gift was picked from the heart,
you know things aren’t as easy this year
alas, I have known this from the very start.

It might not really seem like that much
but for this year, it will just have to do,
because it’s hard when things get tight
but sometimes, we do what we have to do.

NO, don’t be sad for the holiday season
if we don’t end up with the perfect tree,
for if you will just look a little bit deeper
there are much more important things to see.

It may not feel a lot like it’s really Christmas
although people are spreading holiday cheer,
but don’t worry my precious little child
Santa couldn’t forget one so beautifully dear.

Christmas is a wondrous, magical time
even when things might seem sort of amiss,
but don’t forget there is Mistletoe and Holly
and the reason behind all of this Christmas bliss.

The days seem to be quickly counting down
but child don’t worry, please have no fear,
there’s still going to be a Merry Christmas
because it happens each and every year.

It doesn’t matter if there aren’t lots of presents
stacked up neatly under the Christmas tree,
we’ve already received the greatest gift
God’s already given it to you and me.

So do not worry my precious little child
if Christmas is to quickly drawing near,
because here in this home of our hearts
my dear, Christmas is already here.


For April....with my love
~always...


The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Beautiful dear Donna.
It's the gift we give of our own heart that's important.
May you and yours have a blessed holiday season.
~With love and hugs, Nancy~

And April, to be sure, will love her warm and loving Mom, forever...

Words as beautiful as the writer of them.

God bless both you and April and all of your loved ones!

Thank you sooo very much for sharing this poem this year with us. Your poem really spoke to me as we have also had to cut way back on our spending this year. A most beautiful reminder you have written here that Christmas is form the Heart and not from the pocketbook. Merry Christmas. -Bob

Your statement of love, said to one you hold dear,
Will brighten her day and her life, I am sure.
Your sharing of warmth to those gathering here,
Gives all of us pause and a voice of good cheer.

(Many years ago as young students, we got the most scraggly of Chrismtmas trees for a $1.89.  It was beautiful.  Thanks for the memeory.)
Merry Christmas!  

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
