Your presence tonight is a gift so rare,
A treasure wrapped in love and care.
To dance, to laugh, to simply be near
That’s the gift Carissa holds most dear.

She asks for nothing but your warm embrace,
Your smile, your cheer, your kind-hearted grace.
But if you still wish to bless her more,
A simple token, not from a store

A monetary gift, however small,
Would help her journey most of all.
With duty ahead and travels in view,
For exercises and dreams to pursue

She may not know what she’ll need just yet,
But your kind gift she won’t forget.
It’s not the price, nor is it grand,
It’s knowing she’s supported by your hand.

So come as you are, dressed in joy and delight
That alone makes her heart feel light.
But should you give a gift that day,
Know it helps in a meaningful way.
