The greatest gift of all,
Isn't wrapped in paper and bows;
It doesn't come in a bottle,
Can it be a smile chasing woes?

No, I don't think that is it,
Although that would be great;
Maybe it's telling our family,
We love them before it's too late.

That should definitely be done,
But the greatest gift? I don't think so;
Fine jewels and perfume are often gifts of love,
But you and I know that they will someday go.

Pretty cards come in the mail,
Boxes of candy will appear;
However they aren't the greatest gift,
Many won't find it, this I fear.

heartOn this Valentine's Day, I'll tell you the secret,
Of the greatest gift for you and me;
It's the salvation Jesus Christ has bought,
No greater love will you ever see.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
