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!
