I've been searching for a Christmas gift
To give you from my heart
In gratitude for all you are
And all my love impart



But, a perfect present isn't so
There's nothing special enough
To reflect all that I feel
For the daughter-in-law I love



Then, I saw this and I knew
For one so sweet and kind
The perfect gift would need to be
The loving gift of 'time'



So, take this Christmas tea
To sip with me...and as you do
Let it represent the moments, days
I'd gladly spend with you

Poetry from the Heart

Our love easily understands, dear daughter-in-law
What we see, is but the smallest part;
Christmas is not essential in our hands
For we have Christmas in our hearts.
