Giving
Little hands carry
the decorative box
that once held carefully
wrapped treasures
Now, only tissue paper,
red and green,
remains inside
Little hands carry the pretty
box, freely offering to
each in their turn
“Here, I got this present for you.”
The same box,
once holding, now held-
The priceless treasure of
learning to give


This poem and picture brought happy tears to my eyes. I’m so melancholy, Kelley. Look at how your angel is growing. You’re glowing, my beautiful friend. She’s darling! Of course she will be GIVING just like all of you. Much love and prayers, always,ā¤ļøšššš»
