The Greatest Gift

The greatest gift at Christmastime,
Is one we all may give -
A friendly smile that helps to make
Life easier to live.
A kindly thought, a helping hand,
To show someone we care
And let them know how much it means
For us to have them here.
The greatest gift at Christmastime
Costs not a lot to buy -
It's being a good neighbor
As days and months go by;
It's offering a shoulder
When someone needs a lift,
And so I pray this Christmas Day
That this may be your gift!
