Notes About The Poem

It only takes money to buy a gift. It takes love and caring to make one.

The Gifts That We Remember

The Gifts That We Remember
By Franklin Price

The gifts that we remember
Are the ones that can't be bought
They're made by busy loving hands
Created with some thought

Time  and effort given selflessly
To bring another joy
For an adult a mindful  keepsake
For a child a hand-made toy

Sometimes it's not a thing at all
But a phone call made by choice
To tell another that you love them
And just had to hear their voice

Thank you friends and family
Who have made this season best
For gifts and calls and cards you sent
For putting Facebook to the test 

If you received or gave such gifts
In this festive month, December
There are eleven other months
For thoughtful actions to remember
