Christmas Unwrapped : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

People go on these spending sprees all over town ,

until the shops are closing on Christmas Eve .

 

Christmas is not some materialistic wasteland

measured by how many things you receive .

 

I could buy you perfume,  chocolates  and  roses  my  love,

I could buy you every love  song  around  .

 

I could buy you  diamonds and gold  or even pearls  from  the  sea , but you know darling what I've found .

 

If I were to buy you all of  these  things , the real meaning of Christmas just might somehow get lost .

 

So as precious  as you  are, I think that I  might just have to let it go and live with the cost .

 

It  might sound dramatic but lets be realistic,

We really don't need things at Christmas time .

 

We need to  find a love that's  richer  than  roses,

Sweeter than honey and as deep as a mine.

 

We need to understand  love is  older  than  time,

But still as young as innocence  can  be.

 

Christmas is a  fantastic  experience,

And its all because  you have this real love for me.
