The Best Gifts Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

The best gifts
come from the heart
rich with eternal love
like the lotus at the feet of a deity
like the find of a treasure hunter
accepting all
deciphering each piece big or small
with the same intricate balance
punctuated with enduring love
affection illimitable in continuity
when admiration does not
engage time in a puzzle
as the gifts are proferred
then the joy of receiving
is more everlasting
with love.
