This is the thing I overlooked
In every year that passed
In every occasion celebrated
And to celebrate
You think of a gift
Of those holidays
Of those birthdays
Of those anniversaries
A gift you received
Some precious
Some memorable
Some expensive
Some so and so
But there are times
You look for more
A gift you like most
Unsatisfied for most
After all those years
Searching for the perfect gift
I realized the best gift in my life
I have it in my hand
As I open the box
Everyday, every minute
The aroma within
The natural perfume
That banners around
So inviting
So invigorating
Pops up with hugs and kisses
The spirit that embrace
The picture of the smile
The instant replay of the record
"High Daddy ", so sweet to hear
As I close the box
Envisioned in my mind
So sweet to remember
So precious
A life time gift
God given
Unwrapped
That's you my dear
With our kids
