Gift of Time

A spiders web in the
                                                   early morn.
  
                                         A tree cut down to count
                                                    the years .

                                         A grasshopper  to catch and
                                                    put in a jar.

                                         No sweeter joy can you 
                                                       impart . 

                                         Than the gift of time given
                                                 from the heart.
