PromptVent Day 19

Present

The greatest present we can give

someone is the gift of our attention

It costs nothing but it’s priceless

So don't buy them yet another thing

to open on Christmas day

Open your ears and your heart and 

listen instead

Prompt vent 19

Wrap

On a table cleared and prepared for systematic productivity . A sharp pair of scissors to snip he paper and glide the scissors along to shear from the roll of wrapping paper . Sellotape is nearby on a dispenser . There are two rolls , tags and a few stickers to adorn parcel . The gift tags are waiting to be written on . These must be stuck securely . After all the loving message must not get lost . There are some coloured pens with shimmering sparkle .

All the gifts are simple , chosen with love and care . Moreover for purpose not a flippant wasteful choice . Wrapping with padding to protect will be necessary . Paper cut to size allowing to fold edges in crisp corners . The tape folded to conceal . No other clever tricks from me in clever wrapping . I just want to distribute them .

Some will linger under a tree after delivery . Others will be handed over personally on the day . Hidden from prying eyes . The best is that special meeting and sharing a surprise treat . Noting delight as paper is ruffled or torn off .

A smile of delight , when I see I got it right .

#promptvent #day19 WRAP

Wrap me once again

in the warmth of belonging,

that I may know

how I am loved and valued.

Surround me every day

with the rest of reassurance

so I remember

that I am seen and heard.

Shield me in the darker times,

when fear disturbs my rest

that I may feel

your strength rebuilding mine.

And when the time is right

to stretch my wings and fly again,

release me from the wrappings

that you used to heal my wounds.
