This is not a Christmas Poem

This is not a Christmas poem

This is not a gift from me to you

Instead it is a simple reminder

Of what we're supposed to do

This is a celebration

It means something different to all who see

But for me its a recollection

Of who I'm supposed to be

Maybe you can see this day 

As a day to sit and chat

Maybe you're lucky to be with who you love

You're lucky, remember that

Open presents and eat the pie

It's a day to enjoy what's here

Hold and make new memories

Before they leave and disappear

Today we will see the best in the world

Of the people surrounding this room 

We'll enjoy all of the company

And hopefully find the time to go too soon

For me, I celebrate a holiday

Build on not the presents, but God

And I'll sit with the people around the table

As we honor this day as we're awed

So you see, this is not a Christmas poem

This is my time to remember what I believe

I wish you a Merry Christmas

And that you find joy in what you recieve
