The Gift

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
