Gifts

It’s Your birthday
Yet You gave me
So many gifts

The gift of family
The gift of friends
The gift of life

The gift of work
The gift of laughter
The gift of love

They’re so big
They can’t fit
In boxes.

They’re so precious
They must be guarded
All the time.

How wonderful Your gifts are!
I’ll never grow tired
Of unwrapping them.

Merry Christmas, fellow bloggers, poets, friends, everyone! :) I hope you all had a blessed one, and I hope you all had a great time! I had (and still have) colds and mild cough yesterday, but I still enjoyed celebrating with my family, giving gifts, opening gifts, and simply being thankful for everything that was given to me, material and non-material things.

Christmas 2010 is, so far, my happiest Christmas. I hope each Christmas will be the same, if not better. Cheers! :)
