Presents!

It wasn't wrapped up

in the glittery hues 

of the season...

but it's sparkle

blinded our eyes forever!

It didn't come

in a big box, we 

curious to open...

but it's size 

enough to take all the room in our hearts!

It didn't make

music like the clock of the cuckoo

brown and bright...

but it's coos and cries

were the loveliest sonatas we ever heard!

Yes, 

Our 'presents' from heaven

wrapped with rainbow smiles

warm hugs and melodious giggles

is here,

making life joyous

every season

making life hopeful 

every breath.

* I knew I wanted to write about my daughters when I read "Presents" as the prompt at Theme Thursday. Daughters fill hearts with the joy and peace of every season, life long and forever. They are God's invaluable presents like nothing else.
