The Best Gift of All

So many gifts given on this special day,
although he sat quietly not one came his way.
He didn't know why he'd been left alone,
why did the others get their special homes?

He hung his head low as a tear touched his nose,
he said, I'll go here where nobody knows.
I'm lonely, so tierd of hoping like this,
that I could be given that one special kiss.

He came to his bed, someone stood all alone,
The voice said, "They're here and they're taking you home".
It wasn't the gifts that weren't coming to you,
It's you, you're the gift and you'll know that quite soon.

Together they walked to the family there,
he sniffed all around and then jumped in the air..
I know now, It is not the getting, I see,
But giving your heart, the best gift that could be!
