I look around knowing that no one sees me and <br />there are all kinds of gifts under the tree........ <br /> <br />I look through them to see if possible there <br />is one for me but to my surprise I have <br />nothing...... <br /> <br />I hung on a cross for all to see but years <br />later there are no eyes on me....... <br /> <br />Most of the people that are here are people <br />that I have been near........ <br /> <br />I have knocked at their doors many times but <br />not once did they open to see who stands out <br />side.... <br /> <br />I feel as though I am nothing if they would <br />only see I am everything............ <br /> <br />I can take away everything or give to you <br />what's in your dreams..... <br /> <br />Why can't they see what <br />Christmas means........ <br /> <br />The gifts and candy are nice indeed but that's <br />really something that we don't need..... <br /> <br />Spending time with each other and with me and <br />showing the love is what it means........... <br /> <br />To understand I gave my life for yours and hope <br />that soon you will open the door...... <br /> <br />To say thank you for all I have done and to show <br />the world what I have become......... <br /> <br />I wish to you on this special day that you will <br />give thanks and pray that I am here for you and <br />for ever I will stay....... <br /> <br />So take these words and spread them around so <br />everyone will soon be found.......<br /><br />Samantha Glovier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-true-meaning/
