With each present we’ve included A scripture for the day.
We think we’ve been real clever
So look them up, now don’t delay.
With each present we’ve attached
A scripture as a clue.
So look them up, and try to guess
What’s wrapped inside for you.
We hope you like the things we’ve sent
And think we are real clever.
Because we want to wish for you
The Merriest Christmas ever!
Feel free to use either poem or write your own)
