Gifts

Gifts can come in so many different sizes and forms,
and it's fun to think about, fun to make, and fun to receive.

Today I found a gift within a gift which unpacked even more gifts!
So I wanted to count the gifts that I managed to find today,
which brings me to the first gift-the gift of today.

The gift of today let me see so many smiles and hear of so much encourgement.
It was a day to rest from a busy week yet at the same time it was a busy day,
but rest and busy don't necessarily mean what they imply or what we infer.
So it was a good present, today's gift.

The gift of wisdom helped me hear whispers of words of a small voice.
It can be hard to hear at times when things get loud and noisy around,
and when I mean loud and noisy, it doesn't just mean what we hear with our ears.
So there is some special words for each moment, wisdom's gift.

The gift of family filled the place with warmth, smiles and laughter.
It was a good day to gather together and share some time and coffee or tea,
and a good time to reminisce of precious memories, even the most unexpected memories.
So quality time can be the gift of family.

There are still so many gifts to unwrap,
but these are the gifts I shall share for now. 
Even this scribbling can be the gift of a story to be remembered.
