• A silent, smothering cover of white,
    a bow, a gift, a string of light,
    children tearing open gifts,
    a shock of joy,
    their spirit lifts,
    for every girl and every boy,
    a special day,
    for sorrow? nay,
    for family, friends,
    and sadness' end,
    a buzz of living,
    a frenzy of giving,
    a glow of love,
    a gift from above.
