Love

It's not Christmas 

wrapped up in a present 

but I wondered what it was 

It's called Love 

In a world 

in which we live 

my it's brings me

joy and hope

It's called Love 

the feeling 

that you get

from, hugs, kisses

and goodbyes 

on the doorstep 

in the night

It's called Love 

the laughter, listening 

sharing, kinship

longing and missing 

It's called Love 

and I wondered 

what it was

a gift that's free

to give in droves

It's called Love
