Christmas is coming
Filled with hope and joy 
Gifts for the family 
And some for every girl and boy

Some get toys and others get clothes
Some get a hug, others, who knows?

Their dens are bare
The parents gone
They try to find joy
Even though things have gone wrong.

But still there’s magic in their eyes
Times are tough, but still there’s surprise
Beauty in a snowflake
A rock or a mound 
In the simple things, joy can be found

When real gifts matter
Not things for our thumbs
A look in the eye
Not a text on the run

We have so much
We’ve gotten away
From the things that are simple
Like hello, how’s your day?

Lost in our gadgets
Our interest astray
Forgetting the people
As we peck away

I yearn for those times
When electronics were few
When we really had time
To make things anew

Perhaps we will come
To a point in time
When we will then savor
Moments sublime
