Your Gift

You've given a gift
I was glad to accept
It was so prettily wrapped
that I nearly wept

The ribbon is shiny
and curled with such style
The seams folded crisply
I admired awhile

The tag was marked clearly
the lettering bold
by your very own hand
for me I was told

I tested the weight
I gave it a shake
The feel of it light
I felt my heart wake

The gesture was grand
the meaning was clear
a part of yourself
The gift is sincere

I slid off the wrap
I peered down in awe
how did you fit
all that I saw

Your trust and your friendship
your attention and care
your sweet thoughts and kindness
all of it there

Your warmth and your joy
your conversation, your time
you've given so much
Your gift is sublime
