    Heart Gifts
    by: Helen Steiner Rice


    It's not the things that can be bought
    that are life's richest treasure,
    It's just the little
    "heart gifts"
    that money cannot measure...
    A cheerful smile, a friendly word,
    a sympathetic nod
    Are priceless little treasures
    from the storehouse
    of our God...
    They are the things that can't be bought
    with silver or with gold,
    For thoughtfulness and kindness
    and love are never sold...
    They are the priceless things in life
    for which no one can pay,
    And the giver finds rich recompense
    In giving them away.

    This is a great list! I cannot fathom reading Moby Dick either! I'm impressed that you have time to read at all. Love the title of the book you are reading now - it looks to be right up your alley.
    I am not going to post anything right now, just live vicariously off of your literary pursuits, cause they look fun!
    Also, no bloody time. Maybe after Grad!

    Hello, this is just a welcome note to say just that and 'I love your selection!' It's completely varied - I love that - and completely individual!
    Feel free to have a poke around my shelves and add me if you want...
