Look, then embrace and love

Sometimes these gifts are hidden.

Beyond the wrapped presents

Waiting for us to see their luminescence.

My sister’s elaborate wrap

Shined even more than the gift inside

We valued the present but loved the bows and trim,

We loved that we gifted her back with pride.

Happiness with gifts outside the box

Are abundant if we look

Not every gift is always wrapped.

A glance around is all it took

Curiosity and anticipation

Wrapping paper of a different kind

No need to search and shop for this

It recycles itself in your mind.

Happy New Year to all

I wish you well with this new start.

Your heart has a never-ending roll,

Of wrapping paper that doesn’t break apart

It remains strong and sturdy,

Like my sister’s wrapping supplies

A heart holds plenty of what you need.

Looking for it is indeed quite wise.
