One That Was Not Sought

A gift is given... Without an ego displayed, By the giver attached. The receiver of the gift... Believing there to be more, To this giving... Than something as simple, As that! And... The gift given is given back. With sarcastic remarks... And other unnecessary verbal attacks. The giver of the gift, Although offended by this... Keeps a head straight on shoulders. And makes only forward steps. With a lesson learned... And not a temper to display, The gift giver never shows a disappointment. Or has a thing to say. Knowing that a wisdom, Came as a surprise lesson taught. From a teacher in disguise. And from one that was not sought.
