Big Tent prompt "Enough"

Enough with Stuff

Enough is enough, this stuff, this stuff.
This Christmas I say, it’s enough with stuff.
We’ve loads of stuff, and it’s all enough, let us focus on our love.

We’ve got bling and fluff and it’s all enough.
What’s here today is gone in a puff.
Love endures much longer than stuff.
Focus on our love.

People purchase and give gifts because they feel that they must,
But true love doesn’t get old, sit around and collect dust.

Enough is enough, this stuff, this stuff.
Toys will break and wear out and shoes will scuff.
Stuff will never really be enough,
What we need is good old fashioned Love.
