It is time for the presents
It is time for the wraps
It is time for the ribbons
All the holiday traps.
You will ooh and will ahh
You will grin in delight
And I’ll hold my breath hoping
Your smile holds upon sight.
It will be what you wanted
Whether you know it or not
Because no matter the present
It wasn’t one that you bought.
As the evening progresses
And the empty box stares
I will hope you remember
Just how deeply I care.
So I gift you the plenty
That I hold in my heart
And the dream of tomorrow
Where we shan’t be apart.

I like the gifting of the plenty in one’s heart.
Also these lines: “And I’ll hold my breath hoping
Your smile holds upon sight.” That would be my worry as well.

So glad you liked it, Frank!
In the end, the gifts that matter ARE about the plenty in the heart, aren’t they? 🙂 And … we probably all hold our breath a little bit, hoping that our gift ‘hits the spot’ … 🙂 Happy Holidays to you and yours! Na’ama
