The Best Gifts

Thoughts travel
speed of light
Least in my head
far out of sight

A world of causes
so much work to do
Such is life
nothing new

Life keeps us busy
problems day to day
There is one constant
always lights my way

This wonderful thing
no one should be without
The one relationship
that removes all doubt

At times, on occasion
they can play hardball
A living reminder
I don't know it all

No matter my age
much to my dismay
It doesn't stop them
from having their say

Sometimes in jest
never self-righteous
Always said with love
they are my compass

A father of my dreams
mother since forever
Two unbreakable ties
no miles can sever

On Christmas and always
this present is from me
Sending you all my love
'cause the best gifts are free


Dedicated to my mom and dad Christmas 2010. Their impact on my life has made me who I am today.
