Presence Present

If you give me a hug
And a kiss on the cheek
I won't wash my face
For the rest of the week
My birthday is coming
And I'll take those two
But what means much more
Is the gift of just you
The present, your presence 
The wrapping, your glow
The ribbon, your essence
Your smile, the bow
