Christmas

Unwrapping Gifts

December 24, 2018 by Deanna Repose Oaks

Does anyone even realize why we give gifts
Instead of giving all of ourselves; spiritual lifts?
Sometimes I think it is because we want to be kings
To give such gifts, all these crazy, expensive things
Instead of being like the little drummer boy
Who gave his music instead of an expensive toy
So, we kill ourselves year after year
To give bigger gifts out of this strange fear
Our gifts can’t compare to gold, frankincense, and myrrh
When the gifts we should be giving do not confer
Because the greatest gift we can ever give
Is in our hearts and though the lives we live
