Handmade Treasure
by Kathy Mackey
I slice open the gift’s wrap.
within the box below,
It’s a pinkish scarf, I think.
I don’t know.
It’s open weave,
short and wide,
holey like a doily.
At least she tried.
Do you like it?
Proudly she smiles
as I examine the present.
Love it! Such style!
I display the gift,
a crocheted curiosity.
It’s a testament
to girlhood generosity.
May all beings know love, peace and the magic of Christmas.
