Wrapped In Love

When holidays have come to call, and someone needs a friend, to adorn a tree, to hang a wreath, it can help the heart to heal To hold a hand, to stay awhile, or to share a million tears To be an ear.........and be a friend, ... might be all you need to do The gift of friendship, can come to call, in the coldest darkest hour It can come to lift a fretful brow, and can lighten the darkest cloud If someone has lost the joy they knew and cannot see beyond When plans they made were swept away and it seems their hope is gone A friend to bring a smile again, a laugh, a meal to share A warm embrace, a day to rest, are the best of gifts to share The greatest gift, in the worst of times, does not come wrapped in bows

A joy to read this very uplifting poem this day! The greatest gift is in the giving.. The giving to increase the happiness of others is a true gift regardless of how its accomplished! Your write clearly is such an act in and of itself IMHO. Super 7 from me and think it deserves a solid 10!
