Much More Than The Gifts

[Dave D Poet Rhumour]

Much More Than The Gifts

There came a man to remember
Not like those who had passed by before
Some twenty centuries later
His words remain hard to ignore
For the many faithful all around this world
His teachings will ever endure
So whilst I may remain a humanist
I offer respect to those who fully embrace
The many fine thoughts that he left us
Rather than the evils that they displace
And sure as I am that other faiths have great value
With prophets and teachings for the human race
Easter and Christmas deserve remembrance
For so much more than the gifts that we make
