The LOVE Of Christmas<\/p>\n
O and V were in distress.
\nThey were taken. What a mess.
\nL and E were all alone.
\nThey didn\u2019t want to be alone.
\nL slid over to be closer to E.
\nTo share the loneliness, you see.
\nS and A were then shown.
\nL and E would not be alone.
\nThey took O and V\u2019s place.
\nThey made SALE to state their case.
\nV and E were not happy.
\nTheir Christmas spirit was now crappy.
\nThey cried for their LOVE back.
\nFAITH and HOPE had the knack.
\nThey came on strong.
\nS and A were soon gone.
\nO and V came back home.
\nL and E were no longer alone.
\nLOVE was back. Praise the Lord!!
\nChristmas without LOVE would be bored.
\nYou see, LOVE is what it\u2019s all about.
\nNot SALE, but do not pout.
\nThere will be SALE\u2019s, but it\u2019s o.k.
\nIt\u2019s for gifts of LOVE all the way.
\nSo, enjoy your Christmas with lots of LOVE.
\nGod will smile down from heaven above.<\/p>\n
