Christmas Gift

  On the stroke of twelve
  I feel the shiver
  Some one arrives
  But I hear no whisper

  Old man in red
  With beard long white
  Smiling he stares
  With eyes so bright

  With a star on a cap
  And a big bag
  Full of gifts
  With a name tag

  I asked him
  "Why are you here"
  He replied
  "I am lord's messenger

  There is a gift for you
  That you were wishing
  I am here to give
  With all my blessing

  Open your hands
  Close your eyes
  And now you wait
  For big surprise"

  I waited for long
  With nothing in hand
  Opened my eyes
  Smiling I stand

  He left me a quote
  That said so right

  "Your hands seems to be empty
  Because your eyes are full with greed
  Look at them under god's light
  It will show you what they need"
