The Gift All May Give

By Delia Hart Stone

One gave a gift not bought with gold, For gold he seldom had,— A precious gift to one most dear, And who received was glad.
He gave the gift to other friends, He gave with happy heart. To each and all it carried joy, 'Twas of himself a part.
Nor wrapped nor sealed, 'twas postage free Where'er the gift was sent, And always reached, without delay, The one for whom 'twas meant.
He gave the gift to those in need, He gave it more and more, Yet, though full oft he gave the gift, It but increased his store.
And many be who need the gift, And for it daily pine, For wealth is powerless to bestow This precious gift divine.
How blest to give, and blessed, too, Are those who love receive, And more than gold this pearl of price, This gift that all may give.
— Delia Hart Stone.
