What is a gift worth
If it remains unwrapped?
What thanks are due to the giver
What delight is due to the recipient?
None, as far as I can tell.
What is a gift worth
If it is neglected and forgotten?
How can it be used or admired
How can its price be justified?
It cannot, and that is plain to see.
What is a gift worth
If it is forsaken for other paths?
Will it rot away or rust over
Will it linger hopefully, fade into nothing
Or will it explode?
