The Gift of Giving

 The gesture of giving something meant to be given, 

Makes any day, a meaningful celebration.

Gifts come in big packages, some in  boxes so petite, 

Others are conveyed via words, in any way, they are alwiz a treat.

Some like them pretty, others like them plain instead, 

But  I love mine in paper bags with a simple ribbon to decorate.

It's all about what's inside, but please don't be mistaken,

The gift comes secondary, what's  inside your heart is more important.

So give, give, give, not just presents wrapped in a fancy decoration.

Give your time, your effort, your kind words that need to be mentioned.

Give a nod of appreciation if you are least in the mood,

Or simply give a smile ...when you know you should and you could.

Give a prayer to strangers, wishing them good things in your heart,

And the angels will offer the same prayer for you, whilst you are in their guard.

It needs not be an expensive gift, or an extravagant present,

A sincere salam to the toll lady would lift her spirits up to heaven.

And once you have given all that the heart speaks true,

There will come a time when all the gifts will return to you.

A friend offers her time to hear you out,

When sometimes you feel like you want to shout.

Another comes running to your rescue,

When she stays back to finish your work with you.

When your car breaks down and you have the urge to cry,

A helpful stranger from nowhere, suddenly drops by.

And in some moments when work buries you in your place,

A smile from the kids turns that frown into a happy face.

Feel free to give as much as you know how,

And you will receive so much more, ... maybe later, maybe now.

And if I could help you choose a gift that stays in someone forever,

And remembers you, not only  for your lovely gesture,

I would hand you a piece of my heart and my soul goes into them too.

They are the core ingredients of all the cakes that I do.

All packed in the way I like to see them best,

Flavours of the delicious three, in a simple paper bag.

Try and give them to your colleagues

And witness a smile from their faces so big.

Your boss I'm sure would fancy them too,

He is just too shy to say it to you.

Your family would be delighted if you bring these back,

You can enjoy three different flavours all in one stack.

And when you feel you have given enough to all the people that matter,

Let's not forget to reward yourself later.

Take a spoon and open a pack with unabated relish,

For it's alright once in a while, have the cake to yourself and  be selfish!

Cake bars in white paper bags,

All three in one stack.

Some come in brown packages tied up with string,

These are a few of my favourite things.

Flavours of the three:

1. Choc fudge cake drenched in chocolate fudge sauce with couverture chocolate shavings.

2. Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting sprinkled with crunchy toasted almond flakes.

3. Jaffa cake, an orange cake drizzled with chocolate sauce and topped with orange cream and choc chips.

All these for RM50

Have a prosperous month of giving, and as we know it already, tis' the most beautiful thing.
