The best gifts
are rarely wrapped
in the largest boxes

This goodie
this wonder
this golden jewel
is as wide in my mind
as all the love we share
and breathe through

Joy and mirth
even amidst lavish decoration
plush, munificent, unbroken

the light we see
the rays pouring in from the sun
she shows the spirit of donation
she shows the spirit of giving
she is giving
giving and love.
