To the Giver of Good and Perfect Gifts

for Jaime Wong

Thank You for nautical sky blues
and sandy browns and comfort shoes.

Thank You for Chinese building blocks
piling up like collected rocks.

Thank You for magnetic poetry
recombining into life's story.

Thank You for transformation
in times of degradation.

Thank You for gifts of frankincense
gold and myrrh. Thank love too immense

for children for pictures for words.
