The gift that keeps giving, it's special
Hopefully it's given freely and often
Especially at this time of year, it's needed
Grasp onto the reality of this gift now
It's one that has a lot of beauty daily
For in a world, of coldness, it's needed
That once it's received, it's contagious
The gift, it's love, but how is it given?
Hopefully when it's said & done remember
A gift of love, comes from the heart
That generates more than emotions
Kindness is a by-product...misunderstood
Especially when it's taken for weakness
Everyday if love was given, you'd see
Probably a better world, and people
So baton down the hatches, and join me
Give of yourself, especially during these times
It's now, that during the holidays it's important
Via the path we travel, look at everyone move
It's those that need this gift, the gift of love
Now, even if they fall, pick them up with compassion
Growing even stronger, the gift that keeps giving...impacts!

-this means a lot to me. there are times when you get reminded that when you fall, it's not the end. if its not right, its not the end, because in the end, everything will be allright
