Apple & Orange

Grandma and Grandpa tell their stories

Of Christmases past, filled with humble glories

A single apple and an orange in their hand

Was all they got, but it felt like more than grand

Apple and orange, such simple gifts

But their hearts were full, spirits uplifted

Now we chase the glitter, forgettin' the charm

Of an apple and orange and the warmth of the farm

They worked hard days, in fields so wide

Came home to family, with love as their guide

No fancy presents wrapped up in gold

Just an apple and orange, memories to hold

Apple and orange, such simple gifts

But their hearts were full, spirits uplifted

Now we chase the glitter, forgettin' the charm

Of an apple and orange and the warmth of the farm

We've become too materialistic

Missin' the point, feelin' unrealistic

Grandma and Grandpa's wisdom shines

In their apple and orange, the love that binds

Apple and orange, such simple gifts

But their hearts were full, spirits uplifted

Now we chase the glitter, forgettin' the charm

Of an apple and orange and the warmth of the farm

So let's remember, as we celebrate

The simple joys, and appreciate

An apple and orange, the love that's true

Merry Christmas, from me to you.
