“Slow down, you’re moving too fast~ gotta make memories~ the gifts that last”
~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~
Running round looking for the perfect gifts to give~
Sorry to tell you, they are no where to be found
They are readily available, no matter where you live~
Stop running in circles, get your feet back on the ground
They do not even cost a dime~
You better soon awaken
Give precious gifts of your time~
Before they are all taken
Just saying……………
“The best things in life ARE free”

About this poem
This life has become so overwhelming and crazy this time of year. It feels like we miss the whole spirit of the season.
