“The Gift”
Your steps quicken
As memories awaken
As you journey home
As you hurry, hurry home…
For you remember
A magical lighting of the face!
There is no sweeter place,
No finer grace
Than the gift
Glowing
From your child’s
Eyes.

This made me smile. Love is the best gift ever and what should be the focus of the season. I’d rush home for that, too!
