Wrapped In Love
When holidays have come to call, and someone needs a friend,
to adorn a tree, to hang a wreath, it can help the heart to heal
To hold a hand, to stay awhile, or to share a million tears
To be an ear.........and be a friend, ... might be all you need to do
The gift of friendship, can come to call,
in the coldest darkest hour
It can come to lift a fretful brow,
and can lighten the darkest cloud
If someone has lost the joy they knew
and cannot see beyond
When plans they made were swept away
and it seems their hope is gone
A friend to bring a smile again, a laugh, a meal to share
A warm embrace, a day to rest, are the best of gifts to share
The greatest gift, in the worst of times, does not come wrapped in bows
