Christmas Poem

Christmas Wishes For Family And Friends

I'm a proud Ohioan and big sister, and I hope my poetry touches you in a special way. I wrote this poem for all my friends and family members. This is my Christmas gift to all of them. I wanted to show through this poem that the best gifts come from the heart and that the smallest gift, say a Christmas wish, can mean the world to someone, especially those who are having a hard time this year or can't be home for Christmas.

Gift Of Magic And Love

Published by Family Friend Poems December 2018 with permission of the Author.

'Tis the season for warmth and cheer,
To be with our family and those we hold dear.
But what if we are miles away?

A glittery ornament that shines like a star,
A tin of cookies so warm and sweet,
But there's only one gift that makes it complete.

Through an angel's peaceful and heavenly prayer,
Through the verdant Christmas tree,

It stretches wide and travels far.
It's the first snow of Christmas day.
It's the sun's warm and hopeful ray.

This precious gift I gladly send.
It's a Christmas wish to my family and friends:
May love, peace, and joy in your lives stay,
And may you have a Merry Christmas - always!
