Gifts of the Heart

It's not the things that can be bought
that are life's richest treasure,
It's the thoughtful gifts of the heart
that money cannot measure....

A joyful hug, a friendly word,
a happy smiling face,
Are precious little heart gifts
wrapped in God's embrace....

Such cherished things are priceless
they are esteemed high,
For thoughtfulness and kindness
and love you cannot buy....

The value of such things in life
are beyond compare,
For one can find rich reward
in compassion and care....

Such precious gifts of the heart
in giving to another
Brings joy and much happiness
in doing good for others....

And who gives such precious gifts
on whom can you depend ~
So understanding, kind and true
my dearest trusted friend....
