What Shall We Give the Children?

 

What shall we give the children?

Christmas is almost here.

Toys and games and playthings

As we do every year?

Yes, for the magic of Toyland

Is part of the Yuletide lore

To gladden the heart of childhood,

But I shall give something more.

I shall give them patience,

A more sympathetic ear.

A little more time for laughter,

Or tenderly dry a tear.

I shall take time to teach them

The joy of doing some task.

I'll try to find time to answer

More of the questions that they ask.

Time to read books together,

And take long walks in the sun.

Time for a bedtime story,

After the day is done.

I shall give these to my children,

Weaving a closer tie.

Knitting our lives together,

With gifts that money can not buy.
