The Gift
by Barbara Philbrook

This is a very special gift I give because of the love that I have for you,
it's contents are from my spirit and therefore not subject to view.

The wrappings and ribbon are pleasing to the eye,
because the gift is not ment to be opened and here is the reason why.

This gift is a container for the love and careing that I feel for you,
and when you behold this gift you will know that this is true.

You must not open this gift or the love inside will be freed,
and then you will not have it when ever you have the need.

When you are feeling downtrodden and in need of a reminder that you are loved by me,
just glance on this gift and my love you will see.

If you are distressed and in need of a hug that you can feel,
just hold this gift feel my hug and you will be reminded that my love is real.
