    The Gift 4-5-06

     One day as I was walking
    I met a man who gave me a gift
    He handed me a plain wooden box
    As he did he told me that inside I would find
    all that I could ever truly want or need

    I bowed and thanked him for his kindness

    After he had gone I chanced to peek inside
    to my astonishment the box was empty

    I sat in the shade under a tree
    and thought about this for quite some time
    and as I did 
    I looked about myself

    Ever so slowly

    I realized that the man was truly wise beyond measure
    and he had indeed given me a most precious gift.
