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
