An Unusual Gift It Turned Out To Be
An unusual gift it turned out to be
As intentions, I think, were otherwise
On my desk, one day, for me to see
An advert that I shall now summarize
The little card read in letters of gold,
“The Power of Positive Thinking”
Who left this for me, who would be so bold?
Is this a joke; no one was winking!
I quickly moved on, tossing that card
And that day seemed like any other
But when I got home, I felt something hard
In my pocket, I soon would discover
That advert survived and was speaking to me
And I sent away for that book
I’d never done something like that, you see
I wondered why I bit the hook
I have to say, it really changed my course
My standpoint was never the same
I felt I’d become an unstoppable force
All obstacles, I overcame
The jokester who sniggered at his silly deed
Will never know just what he did for me
I think of it often and have always agreed
An unusual gift it turned out to be
