What We Never Forget
Tell me, friend, do you remember
all your presents last December?
What about the year before?
Are they tucked inside a drawer?
Have they seen the light of day
to help you work or help you play?
All the gifts in sparkly wrappings,
ribbons, tags, and all the trappings,
that look so tempting in a store
are fun at first, but is there more?
What are the things we all remember
past the last day of December?
Time together, smiles bright,
with hugs and laughter through the night,
feeling loved by these we cherish,
Those are gifts that never perish.
