There was naught
That she needed
But a path
And some green
And a burbling stream
And wide sky
Overhead.
So she felt deeply nourished
By the flowers,
And the gift of bird
Who landed by her feet
To share
Her burden
And bread.

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.
