Christmas in the heart

It isn't the tree with the tinsel,

Nor the lights blinking bright on the street.

It's the glow that we feel

And a joy that is real.

As we wish well to all that we meet,

It isn't the gift or the giver

That makes this a season of cheer,

But the way we care

And the love we share,

That puts Christ in Christmas each year.

Margaret Willams Stevens
