Gifts For Show
People rushing to and fro.
Not even taking a moment to peek out of their elegantly decorated windows.
Does holidays signal genuine success and love.
Or does tiny birds sit and suddenly become doves?
If so, why does some put on such a show.?
Countless expensive gifts ,ho!ho!ho!
Has no real meaning for the gift behind the bow.
