Packages are beautiful,
resplendent in their colors
bright and cheerful,
attractive in their shape
and tempting in
appearance, wrapped
in ribbons richly hued
with curlicues and bows
We love to carry them
about, showing everyone
how fortunate we are
to have such gifts
in our possession,
letting everyone join
our wonder about
what may be
in there
But I prefer a plain
brown wrapper
bearing no disguise,
or better yet the
contents revealed
to my eyes
To me, it's not the
package that's important,
it's what's inside
