Giving Thanks

G ifts of the heart are worth more than gold
I ronically possessions are what most behold
V isions of beauty surround us in so many forms
I nspired by grandeur should we not all be transformed
N ature bequests images that leave us spellbound
G lorious and breathtaking views that astound.

T reasuring the exquisite bond with one's soul mate
H appiness and serenity, memories that you create
A doring children who show unconditional love
N othing in this world compares or takes place of
K indness of true friends, is a priceless treasure
S uperior to none are these gifts that bring pleasure.

    The native americans were poor as judged by our cultural standards, but in at least some tribes, they would give great gifts. Understanding the pleasure of giving requires a certain maturity that is a theme not completely in the spotlight here and now. Your poem is a testament to all givers.

    It's great to see in print that happiness is not found just by buying it. It's a lesson very difficult to understand in this culture. Hey--thanks for writing it in this unique way and saluting nature as well. Thanks.
