Our lives are filled

With suggestions of ways

We can make lives better

If only we would buy. 

**

Somehow our life is

Incomplete without 

This gizmo, that experience 

The messages are relentless. 

**

Yet, when we look back

Over meaningful moments

We see how few things

Made us truly happy. 

**

The times that 

Meant the most 

Never were purchased. 

But came at some cost. 

**

Being bedside in final days

Comforting the hurting

Helping a neighbor in need 

Celebrating new life 

Walks with a friend 

Preparing a meal 

Listening wholeheartedly. 

**

Valuable beyond riches.

Available anytime to bestow

Our Presence together is

Our most Precious

Gift.
