Small Gifts Big Gifts
Small Gifts Big Gifts
Fear burns souls, hate burns lives, turns them into smoke
Gold, silver, wealth, do nothing to extinguish these
Age and time take us by surprise
Strangers, like so many unknown, unseen, untouched flowers on a mountain side
Wither and die inside society, unseen, no sense of fragrances
All their beauty and their splendor gone in a mystery
Each person is like a snow flake, unique, no two alike
Love comes in a tiny box to put out fires of fear and hate
Given with compassion to a stranger can quench bad things
Life is much more than just a dream
But I dream of this
To line up thousands of tiny boxes filled with love
Wrap each one in gold, silver paper with a tiny bow on top
Pass them out for happiness and the common good
Empathy is stronger than you know
Big things come in small packages too
These boxes never empty
No money in the world can save a soul
Smiles come in small boxes for the forgotten
So many people deserving of a gift
Instead of cookies we would give out wondrous things
Tiny boxes, wrapped in gold, red and silver with a bow
Inside a key to their new auto or perhaps a check
Money is the best gift ever
Financial security is a girl or boys best friend
People close to wisdom already know
We should place the needy in new homes or mansions if they wished
A Learjet would be nice for me
With lessons for a pilot’s license to fly friends, family and strangers about
Germany for breakfast, France for lunch, than off to Egypt
Finding mummies together would be interesting
More strangers added to our gift list
More strangers means more fun to give
