HAND-CRAFTED

I come to the holidays,
my hands open wide,
carrying simple gifts to share
with family and with friends.
I come with words
from deep inside,
and written down
as they flow through
this pen I hold in my hand.
I come with simple tunes to play
upon my fiddle here,
with names attached
just so you know
that they are are meant
especially for you.
I come with special snapshots
taken of things I cherish
printed on glossy paper
and bound together with love.

And these gifts I share
as I extend my hand
in love and friendship
as you’ve extended yours.
And I come with hopes
of sharing a smile
and a bit of warmth
to carry through next year;
I come with a bit of light
to brighten the days ahead;
and I come to this day
with thanks in my heart
for the love you’ve shared
with me,
your smiles,
your encouragement
and friendship shared
from your heart
and from your hand.
