GIFTS AND PRESENTS - by Aufie Zophy

 


 GIFTS  AND  PRESENTS

by  Aufie Zophy


Isn’t it always fun and pleasant
To receive a wonderful present
Wrapped in paper and ribbons of gold
A gift of value and beauty untold


Unexpected or on a special event
Received from a brother or friend
Such gifts make us really feel good
They have to power to change our mood


Now in your heart and mind,
think about gifts of another kind
of presents that are floating in the air
forever and always there.


Everyday we get such gifts for free
Think just about all the beauty we see
The peace we find at dawn in our room
The song of a bird, a marvellous tune


There is so much in nature to be adored
Which gets all too often simply ignored
So is also the love that sits in our heart
And the creativity, our sense for art.


The love sits in our heart; be always aware:
It is replenished no matter how much we share
Sharing love, the greatest gift we get from God
But all too often we appreciate it not.


Creativity another gift from above
As valuable for our character as love.
Using our talents as well as we can
for helping any other woman or man


Most of the gifts of nature are always there
We just need to open our heart and let it in
Love and creativity in abundance to share
So let’s all be aware and live a life from within.
