The Gift

By Patience Strong

It’s not the price that sets the value on the gift we send –
It’s how much love goes with it –
That’s what matters in the end –
The spirit of the giving, the affection that we feel –
The selfless thought behind the act that makes it good and real…

A little simple thing can bring great happiness to you –
If given in sincerity with wishes kind and true ….

The gift we give without our love is worthless, dead, and cold –
While gifts we give from out the heart are worth their weight in gold.
