Give the Gift of Yourself

Give the gift of yourself this holiday season No other present is half so pleasing Get out of the house, take a walk with your spouse Play chess with your kid, the way grandpa did Build a snowman from snow or a sandman from sand Drive through the mountains, it's adventure land Play a simple card game, having fun is the aim Stack the logs in the fireplace, then light the flame At wedding and anniversary pics, let all take a good look Enjoy reading out loud from an old storybook This holiday season, please don't spend your last dime Give the gift of yourself, and have a great time

Wow! well said Gershon. Stuffed full of relateable examples of giving ones self. Great advice. Brings back some more of those memories from my past. Your thoughts and poetry bring me much pleasure. Your friend, Bill p.s. you may have noticed I'm catching up on poems missed these last few days.

The gift of yourself is what everyone wants, and yet, it is the last thing many are willing to give. You have stated it well.

Such a beautiful advice. Gifting oneself, giving a little of one's time, love and consideration to cheer others is more valuable than all other valuable gifts, especially in the Christmas season ... Gershon... have a great Christmas !

Ha, ha! We used to say, back in the day: 'Take a slow boat to China.' :)
