It’s not the things that can be bought
That are life’s richest treasure,
It’s just the little “heart gifts”
That money cannot measure…

A cheerful smile, a friendly word,
A sympathetic nod
Are priceless little treasures
From the storehouse of our God…

They are the things that can’t be brought
With silver or with gold,
For thoughtfulness and kindness
And love are never sold…

They are the priceless things in life,
For which no one can pay,
And the giver finds rich recompense
In Giving Them Away.

And who on earth gives more away
And does more good for others
Than understanding, kind and wise
And selfless, loving Fathers

Who ask no more than just the joy
Of helping those they love
To find in life the happiness
That they are dreaming of.
