I think I will share a poem

I spent some of today reorganising my laptop and found this poem. I write lots of poetry but have never put it here. I know it is not Cbristmas, but I think this one could still pass any time of the year.
This gift in empty hands I bring
This gift in empty hands, I bring
My room is cold though the blankets warm,
In the night my feet have wandered long
Was it a dream? That Stable drawn
Warm and merry on a fading dawn?
Memories sweet, an experience there
Reality? Or a dream to share?
I am torn, and long go back to where
I Unwrapped my humble prayer
My words received as if I
Had brought some gentle lullaby
Told to baby, Knew a King
Was it a dream? or was it Him?
His love did not deny my gift
My heart felt so very close to His
I feel Him now, I felt him when
I thought I heard some angels sing

Lovely poem.
Thanks for sharing it.
My favorite verse:
'Memories sweet, an experience there
Reality? Or a dream to share?
I am torn, and long go back to where
I Unwrapped my humble prayer'

@allen0187 I just found one that I wrote in 2008. I have no memory of every writing it, but it says it is my copyright at the end, so I must have.

@Jackalyn I love writing poetry, but haven't written any in a long time.
