What They Need

Before you buy for family and friends this season Why not look about them first and then reason, Maybe money for toys or gadgets for them shouldn't be spent Maybe they need help with a utility bill or a car payment or rent. Before to the store your holiday spirit does lead Why not ask your friends and family what they truly need, Maybe it's not the newest gadget or gift that you've seen advertised You might then be shocked, saddened and even surprised. Maybe they need a kid's free night Where for themselves they can go out for both fun and delight, Maybe instead of buying them a transmitter You instead could gift them a free babysitter. Maybe they are tired of cooking you might hear them reveal So, maybe instead you can take them out to a home-cooked meal, Or maybe they might need a gallon or two of gasoline Or maybe clean their car to make it look like a fancy limousine. Maybe they need a night out with some friends or pals With other guys or gals, Or maybe they need an opportunity to just dress up Or maybe they might need a very fine coffee in a cup. Maybe they just need someone to just sit down and really listen Maybe they need someone to be a Christian, Or maybe they just need someone to complain or even to cry to Or maybe they just need directions or a clue. Maybe they need someone to help make the holiday bright for their children Or maybe even their grandchildren, Or maybe they might need help in some other way But, they are too proud or maybe to embarrassed to ask or say. Before you go out this year for your holiday shopping Before from one store to another store you are vigorously hopping, Maybe this year you will have already thought enough Maybe, this year you can truly give them what they need, instead of stuff.
