'a Special Gift Forever'

Theme : A Special Gift
***************************

When I think of a special gift,
A plenty of ideas come in mind,
Though not everything is a hit,
All depends on the occasion where they'll fit...

People have different likes-dislikes,
Some prefer valuable goods,
Some opt for priceless smiles,
But U know what, Special gifts always have their special time...

Honestly telling that I get satisfied even with the smallest thing,
I can't name a particular thing to be special,
For me, every gift is peculiar,
But that should be essential...

As children, we were fond of new clothes & stationary,
Views & needs changed with time,
Relationships also are becoming probationary,
Time becomes a Special gift for the receiver when the sender is in a hurry...

Recently I received an unusual present,
The giver was a dear disciple of mine,
Surprisingly, it was a plant of pine,
If nurtured well, it has no nearer deadline...

I water it regularly for its growing life,
Whenever I look at it, I feel fresh & bright,
One day, we’ll go as we all are mortal,
All I know is my Special Gift has become a Special Friend of mine...

May it grow greener than ever & for centuries stay alive!
