A poem by my friend David Short:
Excitement mounts, folk hurry and scurry
Stores are full, lists of presents are checked
Transactions made and the treasures purchased
The wrapping process begins.
Thoughtfulness, care and creativity combine
Resources are gathered, colourful paper,
Sparkling tape, decorative motives,
Artistic tags and finally the wrapping is complete.
Camouflaged, hidden but ready for discovery
The present silently awaits the moment of joy
Suddenly the revelation happens,
The present is opened, happiness pervades
The greatest gift of all was amazingly prepared
Planned by the Creator of the Universe
Centuries of detailed “wrapping” for the right moment
The present is unwrapped with joy, the Saviour is born
