Here is my 2020 Christmas Gift I am passing on to all who will accept it. However, no one can provide Peace, Love, and Good Will except Jesus who came to give it to us.
There was little time for 2020 Christmas shopping
since we were mostly in a lock down state.
My first thoughts were vintage, yet up-to-date.
This needed to be a special Christmas gift;
something to uplift.
It needed to be fuzzy and warm;
Something to get through any storm.
It was hard being so selective,
but I had an objective.
It still had to be attractive,
yet protective.
I repeated my list
to be sure something wasn't missed:
Fuzzy and warm,
Protective through any storm,
Attractive in every form.
Aha! Suddenly, I knew just the thing;
Something passed on from a King!
I quickly seized upon my precious find.
I was sure this gift would be cherished in heart and mind.
It was certainly warm and cozy, a bundle of delight;
Just what was needed to make the year more bright.
This was a shield of protective covering
through the cold, even in sickness and suffering.
It was attractive in every way
and would stay that way throughout each day.
So, I asked as I finished my task,
"What better gift than one making every dark cloud lift?"
My choice - the gift of Peace, Love, and Good Will
given by the Christ Child born out in the chill.
