Here is a poem I wrote a while ago:

THE GIFT:

The gift box is wrapped

Looking beautiful with its ribbon

Should you dare open it?

After all- to you its been given

Before your hands touch the box

You pause and give a smile

To the giver of the gift

Appreciating her all the while

You tear open the paper

Your mouth open wide

As you find THE gift you’ve wanted

And you become teary-eyed

Your so thankful right then

You have such a wonderful friend

Who’s always thinking about you

And whos always there to lend

Take a minute to draw

A parable in your mind

That Gift is your very own life

Given to you by Hashem- so kind

So beautifully wrapped

You enter this world so anew

About to start life’s mission

As a true person and Jew

Pause for a moment

Remember life’s just a gift to you

Remember who its from

And appreciate that too

With each and every step you take

And every breathe and movement too

Should make us more aware

Of Hashem’s gifts that He give to you
