What Is a Gift

A gift is something you make with your hands.
A bouquet of flowers, shells from the sand.
Helping our elders in their time of need.
Is truly a wondrous gift indeed.

Quality time in a park or near a stream.
A gift is anything you can dream.
Many people get gifts from out of a store.
Because that's the way they've done it before.

Taking your child out on a fishing boat.
Taking pictures at the zoo of a mountain goat.
Whatever the gift whether music or art.
The most important thing is that it comes from the heart!
