The Most Precious Gift Of All

Folder: 
Holiday

Althought it's always nice,

Receiving gifts of holiday cheer,

She thought she'd do something different,

And give to charity that year.



The presents & the candy, she told herself,

Are merely material things.

So she decided to do something else,

That would really make her heart sing!



So down to the homeless shelter,

Where she went with a great big smile.

For it's something she always wanted to do,

It's been on her mind for quite awhile.



Just giving a few small tokens,

To children without anything at all,

Such a caring, compassionate thing to do,

More fulfilling than shopping at the mall.



She lit up many faces,

Of both big and small.

Just sharing her love on christmas,

Was her most precious gift of all.
