Stuck at the back
Of the Christmas tree
In the corner where you
JUST can't see
Is a present
Not wrapped in bright paper
No ribbon or bow
The box a bit battered
With a dent and a hole
There's a present
Forgotten for years
It sits without fuss
For a child to come
And open it up
But the present
Has been there so long
It's forgotten just what
Is hiding inside
Its tatty old box
So the present
Just stays where it is
Quietly hidden away
And when the tree isn't there
The sofa is shoved in the way
And the present
Hopes that one day soon
Santa will come back
And pick it up again
And put it back in his sack
Then the present
Can be given once more
To a different child
One who'll open it up
With a huge Christmas smile
At the present.
