It's the Thought That Counts

Trinkets and treasures, given away
Something for nothing, what can I say?
Jewelry or gold
Some artwork of old
A gift for someone on my mind today

Shopping, searching, a second hand store
Pirate and pilfer, the bargains galore
A want or a need
Obsession or greed
It all depends on what you're looking for

Recycle a relic, admire an antique
Killing some time, in a brownstone boutique
Whatever the find
Be it crude or refined
A gift for a friend, guaranteed unique.

Sandra L. Weiss Date: 4/24/2024 4:05:00 PM A pleasure browsing through your poem, Daniel. Shopping, depicted so well. We all came along. It is the thought and effort that means so much. The smallest gift, the greatest treasure!
Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 4/24/2024 6:31:00 AM Dear Daniel, A great celebration with the essence of gift-giving, emphasizing that it's the thought behind the gesture that genuinely matters. I loved that from trinkets to treasures found in secondhand stores, each item carries meaning and uniqueness, reflecting the depth of consideration for the recipient. It truly is the value of a gift lies not in its price tag, but in the sentiment and thoughtfulness behind it. - Blessings, Daniel

Lin Lane Date: 4/23/2024 9:06:00 PM aww, Danny. You shouldn't have. ;-) I love browsing in antique stores and wondering about the history of things that catch my eye. It's great to see you with a new post, and a well written one.
