Gifts You Cannot Buy

With all the noise and hurry— We start to wonder why Those things that are most precious Are gifts you cannot buy? The first snow of the season— A grandchild’s happy grin— The miracle of child birth— Memories of back when. First love under summer trees— Watching a rippling stream— A good day’s work that’s finished— Achieving your life’s dream. Giving a hand to old friends— Breathing in those flowers— Doing the things that are right— Watching clouds for hours. Keeping your dearest vows— A bright morning sunrise— Fulfilling your promises— Keeping love in your eyes. Relishing a child’s laughter: Faces on Christmas morn— Honoring your commitments And the day Christ was born. With all the noise and hurry— We start to wonder why Those things that are most precious Are gifts you cannot buy?
