Why Give During Christmas

A Festive Poem

By GARY DEANPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Is Christmas too commercialised

With its penchant for retail

Is it less religious

As we forget why we celebrate

What would bring home

The true Christmas spirit

What do we need to change

To make it all right

It's all in the minds eye

To where the focus should start

It's within our own hearts

Is where it should begin

Amongst all the festivities

Of parties and cheer

Among all the children

Waiting for Santa to appear

For every wrong doing

And every good deed

We still have hope

And a reason for living

That's our cue to rejoice

And our reason for giving.
