Christmas is a time
To acknowledge friends and family
To show love, respect, appreciation
To those we sometimes seldom see
Tradition has us baring gifts
As an action we all take
But this year’s a little different
Cause of funds I didn’t make
Yet still the urge to demonstrate
The impulse in my heart
For the presence that you represent
And have from the very start
‘It’s the thought’ they tell us
The thought’ they say ‘that counts’
So it’s a ‘thought’ I’m sending
That didn’t cost a large amount
Not just a card in passing
But has a magnet there attached
Hang it on your ‘frigerator’
It will be a ‘thought’ unmatched
Merry Christmas is the message
Thanks for being in my life
The message behind the ‘thought’
Your Presence, a delight!
