The Ever Gift
Wrappings, ribbons, tinsel, and string…
these are a few of my favorite things.
I like to wrap packages and put on bright bows,
and make a funny card, of a lace shaped rose.
A little thing for you, something for her,
it is not a big deal, to make an appeal.
Just stuff here and there, under the tree,
most things are bigger and some are still free.
What is best…?,
the “test” of what you really want?…
a car, a house, a ball, a mouse?
Everyone needs, and wants.
Give and get,
create more,
make more,
have more…
“ more” all by itself.
Stop a moment, take it in.
Time is right at hand. Turn your socks,
Set your clocks, then start the band again.
This is not about what you're going to get,
but what it is to give,
a lesson learned to change your life…
and how it is to live.,
