Simple Gifts

‘Tis a gift to be simple, ’tis a gift to be free,

‘Tis a gift to come round where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

It will be in the valley of love and delight

When true simplicity is gained,

To bow and to bend, we shan’t be ashamed.
To turn, and turn, will be our delight,

‘Til by turning, turning we come round right.

‘Tis a gift to be gentle, ’tis a gift to be fair,

‘Tis a gift to wake and breathe the morning air,

To walk every day in the path that we choose,

Is the gift that we pray we will never lose.

When true simplicity is gained,

To bow and to bend, we shan’t be ashamed.
To turn, and turn, will be our delight,

‘Til by turning, turning we come round right.

‘Tis a gift to be loved, and that love to return

‘Tis a gift to be taught, and a richer gift to learn

When we “do unto others,” use our strength to heal

We will light up the world with a peace that is real.

When true simplicity is gained,

To bow and to bend, we shan’t be ashamed.
To turn, and turn, will be our delight,

‘Til by turning, turning we come round right.

May you walk in the light. Happy Thanksgiving.
