I ain’t the type to grin and share

Daily writing prompt
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

I’m not the generous type,

That kindness trip is all just hype,

When I receive a gift,

It’s all mine! So get my drift,

If it comes in a box with my name on it,

Keep your dirty little mittens off it!

It doesn’t need to be the best gift ever,

In truth nothing lasts forever,

Chocolate, Tights a New Alarm Clock,

Or maybe my long lost matching sock,

Whatever it is just beware,

I ain’t the type to grin and share

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

The Gift of Life from My Mum and Dad

Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

I still feel birth is a miracle.I really can’t believe I’m here . I will never know what circumstances lead to my conception,was it love,lust,boredom or just pure happiness.Whatever,but with four children already I don’t think I was planned.

My arrival probably caused consternation on the economic front,but like all good parents they weathered the storms and ensured their child’s safety and happiness.What could be a greater gift?
