A wildflower from the side of the road
A favourite toy or special jewellry
Marbles and shells
Pretty rocks, twigs shaped into a star.
Are wrapped in their love
With no money changing hands
Ordinary dismissed in little eyes.
Only these precious gifts share the vision of a child’s heart.
“It isn’t the size of the gift that matters, but the size of the heart that gives it.”
~ Quoted in The Angels’ Little Instruction Book
by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994
