The Gift

The first Christmas many years ago,
Shepherds came from near and far
To see a baby beneath the star.
They brought Him gifts of great worth
Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.
But one little shepherd boy
Brought all that he had.
A gift of his love
To share with the lad.
Now Christmases come
And Christmases go,
But one gift remains
Most precious of all -
The gift of love -
The touch of hands.
