Simple Gifts

Food for thought this Holiday season ...

'Tis the gift to be simple
'tis the gift to be free
'tis the gift to come
down where you ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
It will be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed
To turn, turn will be our delight
'Til by turning, turning we come round right
