The Christmas Gift !!

 
 
 
IT  ISN'T  THE  FLOWING  RIBBONS,
DRAPED  AND  CURLED  WITH  EXTRA  CARE,
OR  THE  FINE  FANCY  BOWS
TIED  WITH  ORNAMENTAL  FLAIR.
 
 
IT  ISN'T  THE  LABEL  ON  THE  BOX,
THE  SUM  OF  MONEY  SPENT,
OR  ANYTHING  THAT  SHOWS  THE  LENGTH
TO  WHICH  YOU  OBVIOUSLY  WENT.
 
 
THE  BEAUTY  OF  A  CHRISTMAS  GIFT
CANNOT  BE  SEEN  AT  ALL,
FOR  THE  LOVELINESS  OF  GIVING
IS  A  FEELING,  GRAND  AND  TALL.
 
 
IT'S  THE  GENUINE  OFFER  OF  LOVE,
THE  YEARNING  TO  MAKE  A  CONNECTION,
A  SHOW  OF  HONEST  GRATITUDE,
A  DISPLAY  OF  SINCERE  AFFECTION. . .
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                               LOVE   YA,    ~Barbara
