A True Gift
A gift
Is not to appease
Is not to pacify
Is not pretence of a loveless lie
It is something true from within
Not an object tainted with sin
A gift is within you
A gift is not just something I send you
It is more than buying a teddy bear
It is something that shows you care
To care, to love with your whole heart
This gift of giving is the start
It is something I made with hands
Something that the memory withstands
It is more than a new videogame
It is something that when seen speaks your name
Because it is from deep inside
Not something you give to bribe
Or uphold your image to another
It is the strange wooden box made by a brother
So when handing yours out
Make sure that this is what it is all about
Cause the person receiving will know
If you just gave the gift for show
