With gifts and lights and festive cheer.
But for you, my friend, I'll do things different,
A gift that's true, and holds you near.
No trinkets bright, nor candy sweet,
No stocking filled with things to keep.
Instead, I offer words sincere,
Of friendship strong, and bonds so deep.
I value you, your gentle heart,
Your kindness, humor, and your art.
And though our faiths may differ quite,
My love and respect, they shine so bright.
So here's a wish, a simple prayer,
For joy and peace, beyond compare.
May your days be filled with blessings true,
And may our friendship, forever renew.
