Gifts From Afar
When someone who’s away returns
And brings a little gift,
No matter what it is, it’s sure
To give your heart a lift.
For just to know you crossed his mind’s
Enough to make you smile,
But a souvenir is lovely,
Even more when it’s your style.
So my new umbrella’s ready
For when rain is on the way
And my sheep with shamrock’s hanging
Where I’ll see it every day.
Since these gifts were from my son
They really filled me with delight,
With the added affirmation
That I sure did something right!
