There is no price tag on some gifts -

GIFT OF COMPASSION

It gets harder each year
To go out and find
A gift that will suit
Your children and mine.

So I think I will
Put my checkbook away;
No credit card debt
For there's no need to pay.

This year I am giving
Straight from the heart
A gift of compassion
(At least it's a start!)

I will try to listen
To what you have to say;
I'll try to remember,
And treat you in the way

That I'd like to be treated
And perhaps understood -
A gift of compassion
Would be awfully good.

To accept you and love you
No matter the boast
That you are just fine
For I love you the most.
