MY CHRISTMAS WISHES FOR YOU

MY CHRISTMAS WISHES FOR YOU 

These are the gifts I send to you 

At this special time of year

Days of calm and peacefulness

And days without fear.

I wish you love and laughter

Sunshine in your sky

Flowers on your pathway

Someone to dry your eye.

I wish you mirth and music

The courage to take a chance

And when the music plays for you

I hope that you can dance.

I wish you food and plenty

And a table fully spread

A soft and downy pillow

Where you can lay your head.

I wish you friends and family

And times to spend together

I wish you celebration times

And fair and easy weather.

I wish you health and happiness

Hot chocolate on a winter night

And when you are in a hurry

I wish you a green traffic light.

I wish you quiet walks 

On the beach or by the river

I wish you walks in autumn leaves

As the river reeds bend and quiver.

A sparkling clear blue ocean

Diamonds in your sky

And when you are challenged

I wish you the courage to try.

I wish you Merry Christmas

And a new year that's calm and sweet

I wish you very happy times

With new friends that you meet.

MY CHRISTMAS AND ALL YEAR GIFTS TO YOU

MY CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR YOU

Once again its days of paper

And ribbons of every hue.

There are some things that I can’t wrap~

And these are my gifts for you.

Patience with a loved one

Who tells the same story again and again.

Just the calm to sit and listen

To take away some pain.

Tolerance with those whose opinions differ

And contradict our own.

The ability to accept these things~

To see how much we’ve grown.

Acceptance of days that are not the way we wish,

Understanding that some things cannot be.

Learning to live with these constraints,

Learning to find the real “me”

Love – so many ways I want this gift for you

The childlike love of flowers in a chubby hand.

The love of children, friends, family and

One special one who says “I understand.”

Peace – calm and easy carefree days

For you and for your world.

Days in the sun and for you to see

Freedoms glorious flag unfurled.

Friendship is a special gift

That binds two hearts as one.

The quiet harmonious times that come

To us when day is done.

So these gifts I bring to you~

I offer them with love.

They are wrapped in Heaven’s special care

Truly a gift from above.
