The Greatest Gift of All

There are those who wish you goodwill
with words that say they care
and those who say they love you
their words resound in air

But words can all be empty
when their actions do belie
void and vacant promises
if they never even try

For action takes committment
and eagerness of mind
a helping hand, and works of sweat
are things that take your time

And time can be so valuable
more precious than finest gold
more costly than a gift of words
if the truth was ever told

Yes, even gifts bought at the store
treasures from the mall
Can not compare to what you do
The greatest gift of all
