Mildred J. Douglass: favorite poems...penned by others It Ain't The Gift - author unknown
It ain't the gift a feller gits, it ain't the shape ner size, That sets the heart to beatin' an' puts sunshine in yer eyes. It ain't the value of the thing, ner how its wrapped er tied; It's somethin' else aside from this that makes you glad inside.
It's knowin' that it represents a love both deep an' true, That someone carries in his heart an' wants to slip to you. It's knowin' that some folks love you, an' tell you in this way, Jes' sorter actin' out the things they really long to say.
So 'tain't the gift a feller gits, ner how it's wrapped er tied, It's knowin' that yer folks like you, that makes you glad inside.
