Gifts come in many Packages, before we find the one we need
Here we sit,
Trying to make sense of it,
Presents all upon the floor
Torn paper
Tossed aside,
While inside,
A child cries.
Where are you dad ?

I gave you
The biggest I could,
It cost me all I had,
But all I wanted
Was a hug
And some time with you
Dad.

So put away,
Toys that cost,
Give the only gift you may
A smile, A hug
That says your precious
At any time of the day
