Baskets of gladness
each woven with lace -
gifts from the Father
perfected with grace.
Bouquets of mercy -
warm blankets of love,
joyfully knitted
by Yahweh above.
Ribbons of patience
entwined with God's peace -
blessings abounding
not ever to cease.
Gifts from the Father,
the Father of Lights,
are made with His love
and make the world bright.
