What Gifts Do You Bestow Me

Written in 2004 for a Christmas card for a friend.

Riches, fine clothes, some Jewelry
What are these to me
They are mine for but a moment
and then lost forever to me

My thoughts, my memories
Of friends I have made
Time will not fade
An eternity they shall stay

What gifts will you give me
A fine new trinket of any price
or a moment of your time
a shared moment of your life

It may seem I ask so little
How could I ask for more
It is not what you give me
but you that ask for

That is really good. You could feel emotion. It is just more then words on a screen.

Thank you Dark Rose Bud, that is what I always hope to hear.

I like how you symbolized that memories with friends was worth more than any kind of wealth.

Thanks Jamie, I am glad I was able to communicate that.

My thoughts, my memories
