Keep Jesus Out of a Box

Any Christian recipient would consider great,
the image of Jesus on a china plate.
A porcelain cross would also be grand;
beautiful enough to hold in the hand.
A gift of a bible for you or me;
purchased at a book store, it is sales tax free.
A gift of Our Savior in any physical way,
would be enlightening to all on any day.
However, Jesus should not stay in a box all the time.
Dwelling in our hearts and minds is most sublime
