Priceless Gifts
These gifts will cost you nothing
but they will certainly convey
the kind and loving feelings
that are in your heart each day.
Listening ...
Lend an ear and hear my sorrow,
hear my tale of things gone wrong;
you don't have to say a thing
to help me to be strong.
Signs of Affection ...
Put your arm around me,
take my hand while we speak;
knowing that you really care
is the only gift I seek.
A Simple Note ...
Write a simple line or two
and send it on its way;
knowing that you think of me
brings sunshine to each day.
Laughter ...
Sit and talk with me a while,
we'll tell a joke or two;
There's no sweeter sound in all the world
than the laughter I share with you.
A compliment ...
You look marvelous, my dear;
what a super job that was!
No special reason to compliment,
do it "just because."
A favor ...
Let me help you mow the lawn
or do an errand or two;
A favor is a gift of love
given because I love you!
Solitude ...
Sometimes, sitting by myself
to think or just make plans,
is all the gift I need
amid a day filled with demands.
Cheerfulness ...
Turn your frown upside down,
give me a smile today.
I'll carry the gift of your cheerfulness
as I go along my way.
Encouragement ...
You can do it, yes you can!
Nothing can stop you now!
There's nothing too big for you to take on
and I know you'll show them how!
Prayer ...
I said a prayer for you today,
I asked Him to bless you twice;
once because you're a friend of mine,
and once because you're so nice.
